Inclement weather ends Saturday at PGA
Golf Betting Lines
08/09/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inclement weather at Oakland Hills forced the suspension of play for the day Saturday during the third round of the PGA Championship.
J.B. Holmes stayed atop the leaderboard, but has not teed off in his third round. He is the only player under par for the championship and is one ahead of Charlie Wi, playing in his first major, 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis and Justin Rose.
Steve Flesch is two-under through five holes and is tied for fifth place at plus-one for the tournament. David Toms, the 2001 champion, and Henrik Stenson have yet to tee off in round three at the same score.
The third round will resume at 7:15 a.m. (et) Sunday. The plan is to complete the third round around 11:50 a.m., then the players will be sent out in threesomes off both the first and 10th tees for the final round.
That is, of course, if there are no weather stoppages on Sunday. There is some rain in the forecast and the possibility of the fourth Monday finish in PGA Championship history since it went to stroke play looms large.
Phil Mickelson won the last Monday finish three years ago at Baltusrol. He knocked his drive at the par-four sixth to seven feet and is in good shape for an eagle.
Mickelson stands at three-over par for the championship, but with an eagle early Sunday morning, he could get within two shots of the lead.
Andres Romero is the leader in the clubhouse after a five-under 65 on Saturday. He finished 54 holes at two-over 212 and headlines a group tied for eighth.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
