Stricker six clear after three rounds at RivieraGolf Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Pacific Palisades, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Steve Stricker polished off a five- under 66 Sunday and stretched his lead to six strokes after three rounds of the Northern Trust Open. Stricker, who led by five entering the day, carded a pair of birdies and a bogey to wrap up his third round. Twelve players completed their third rounds Sunday morning after play was suspended on Saturday by darkness. The tournament had weather problems on Friday that delayed the end of the second round until Saturday. The forecast for the remainder of Sunday is good so action is expected to be completed as scheduled around 6:00 p.m. (et). Luke Donald, who also shot 66 in round three, and J.B. Holmes (67) had completed their third rounds on Saturday. They share second place at nine- under-par 204 with Andres Romero, who polished off his 70 on Sunday morning at Riviera Country Club. Stricker returned to the course Sunday morning and had a 37-foot birdie putt on the par-four 15th. He poured that putt in and made it two in a row as he also birdied the par-three 16th. After making par on the par-five 17th, Stricker missed a 14-foot par putt at the last as his lead dipped from seven to six entering the final round. This is the ninth time Stricker has owned a piece of the lead entering the final round. Stricker won just three of those previous eight events. Kevin Stadler (69), George McNeill (66) and Dustin Johnson (74) share fifth place at eight-under-par 205. Steve Marino (69), Ricky Barnes (69), Anthony Kim (69) and Alex Prugh (66) are one stroke back at minus-seven. NOTES: There was a second cut that reduced the final-round field to 72 players...Nine players -- Bob Estes, Nick O'Hern, Fredrik Jacobson, David Duval, Rory Sabbatini, Ryan Moore, Bill Lunde, Cameron Beckman and Richard S. Johnson -- made the cut, but will not play the final round.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses 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.'' 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. ”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?'' For complete odds on the Kentucky Derby, visit MySportsbook.com.
