Fasth Tiebreaker Highlight Name Down Place

Golf Betting Lines

Sweden, the defending champion, made up four strokes on South Africa on Saturday. Caroline Westrup posted a three-under 69 and both Anna Nordqvist and Sofie Andersson shot 75s.

 

This marked the second instance when the tiebreaker system was used. In 2002, Australia beat Thailand using the first criteria.

 

Colombia moved up eight places on Saturday with an eight-under 136, the lowest final-round team total in championship history. They finished third at nine- under-par 567.

 

Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hee-Won Han posted her third consecutive round in the 60s on Sunday to run away with the Honda LPGA Thailand, her sixth career victory and second of the season. Han shot a five-under 67 in the final round, completing the first-ever LPGA event in Thailand at 14-under-par 202 for a five-shot victory over Diana D'Alessio.

 

"This is my sixth win on the LPGA Tour, but I have never won by this much," Han admitted. "When I got to the 15th hole, actually after the ninth hole, I played pretty comfortable. I thought I played pretty good today and I'm very happy about the win."

 

Castrale closed with a three-over 75 to share third place with Candie Kung (69) and Gloria Park (71) at eight-under 208.

 

Han, who won the LPGA Corning Classic in May, was the only player to shoot three sub-70 rounds this weekend at Amata Spring Country Club.

 

On the back nine, Han got as low as 15-under after birdies at the 11th and 14th. Cruising at that point, she then finished her round bogey-birdie-bogey.

 

"I kept trying to make birdies on the back nine," said Han. "I got bogeys on 16 and 18, but I played pretty comfortable when I knew I was up by five or six shots."

 

Young Kim (69) and Sherri Turner (71) were one shot further back at 210.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
