Golf Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Edmonton, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brady Stockton posted a three-under 69 Friday to remain a co-leader after two rounds of the Edmonton Open.

Stockton, who shared the first-round lead with Robert Gates, completed 36 holes at 10-under-par 134. He was joined in the lead by Graham DeLaet and Jim Rutledge, who both shot 67 for the second straight day.

Hugo Leon also carded a five-under 67 and is alone in fourth at minus-eight. Gates tumbled into a tie for 25th at minus-four after stumbling to a three- over 75 on Friday.

Stockton birdied the first, but gave that stroke back with a bogey on the third. He rebounded with a birdie on the par-three fourth.

After birdies on eight and nine, Stockton faltered to a double-bogey on the par-four 11th. He recovered those lost strokes with birdies on 14 and 15. Stockton bogeyed the par-five 17th at Glendale Golf and Country Club, but birdied the last to share the second-round lead.

DeLaet ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the 12th before tripping to a bogey on the 17th. Around the turn, he poured in three straight birdies from the first to jump to 10-under. He parred his final six holes to end there.

Rutledge, who played alongside DeLaet, birdied the 11th and 12th, but dropped a shot on 13. He birdied the 17th and around the turn moved to minus-eight with a birdie on the first.

He bogeyed the fourth, then birdied five and six. After a bogey on eight, Rutledge eagled the par-five ninth, his last, to finish at minus-10.

Barrett Jarosch (67), Yohann Benson (67), George Coetzee (70), Garrett Sapp (70) and Liam Kendregan (71) share fifth place at seven-under-par 137.

The cut line fell at one-under-par 143 with 70 players moving on to the weekend. Defending champion John Ellis made the cut on the number.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
