Inkster, Miyazato share lead in Singapore
Golf Betting Lines
02/27/2010 -
Singapore (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Juli Inkster and Ai Miyazato both carded three-
under 69s Saturday and they share the lead after three rounds of the HSBC
Women's Champions.
Inkster and Miyazato completed 54 holes at seven-under-par 209. If Inkster
goes on to victory, she would be the LPGA Tour's oldest-ever winner. For
Miyazato, it would be her second win in a row as she claimed the season-
opening Honda PTT LPGA Thailand last weekend.
Momoko Ueda matched the low round of the day with her four-under 68. She
climbed into a share of third place at five-under-par 211. Ueda was joined
there by Hee Young Park (69), Sun Young Yoo (71) and Hee-Won Han (71).
Second-round leaders Angela Stanford and Song-Hee Kim both struggled on
Saturday. Stanford birdied the 18th to shoot two-over 74, which dropped her
into a share of 10th at three-under-par 213. Kim was one stroke back at minus-
two after faltering to a three-over 75 at Tanah Merah Country Club.
Inkster got her round going with a birdie on the second. However, she gave
that stroke back when she bogeyed the par-four fourth.
The World Golf Hall of Fame member birdied the par-three eighth to grab a
share of the lead. She took over the top spot on the leaderboard with a birdie
on the par-three 11th.
Inkster parred her next three holes. At the par-five 15th, she converted
another birdie chance to grab a two-stroke lead. Inkster was caught by
Miyazato as she parred the final three holes.
If Inkster wins, she would be 49 years, eight months and four days old. Beth
Daniel currently owns the mark for oldest winner on the LPGA Tour as she won
the 2003 Canadian Women's Open at the age of 45 years, eight months and 29
days.
Miyazato had a quick start to her round with birdies on one and two. She gave
one shot back with a bogey on the third, but atoned for that error with a
birdie on the fifth.
That birdie gave Miyazato a one-stroke lead of Kim. Miyazato stumbled to a
bogey on the ninth and dropped into a share of the lead.
She remained at minus-five as she parred the first six holes of the back nine.
At the short par-four 16th, Miyazato made eagle to jump into a share of the
lead with Inkster at seven-under. She parred her final two holes to end there.
Cristie Kerr (71), Suzann Pettersen (72) and Yani Tseng (71) share seventh
place at four-under-par 212.
NOTES: Defending champion Jiyai Shin managed an even-par 72 and is tied for
15th at minus-two, where she stands alongside Michelle Wie (69) and seven
others...Women's world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa struggled again as she shot one-over
73 and completed 54 holes at plus-four...There was no cut in this event.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
