Kuchar two clear at rainy Whistling Straits

Golf Betting Lines

08/13/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kuchar posted a three-under 69 on Friday to stay atop the leaderboard after his second round of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

Kuchar, the first-round leader, finished 36 holes at eight-under 136 and is two in front with several players yet to complete the second round.

Friday was the second day in a row that the round was delayed because of fog. The golfers waited two hours and 40 minutes to start play. The start of the tournament was pushed back more than three hours Thursday morning, then eventually suspended due to darkness with 78 players left on the course.

Rain began to fall at Whistling Straits Friday afternoon, but play hasn't been stopped.

Yet.

The forecast calls for heavy storms Friday evening and possibly into Saturday.

Due to all of the fog delays, there is no way the second round will be completed until Saturday at the earliest. Half of the field has yet to tee off in round two, and a large portion of the group playing round two hasn't finished.

Tiger Woods, a four-time PGA Champion, followed his worst start as a professional last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with a one-under 71 on Thursday. He hasn't teed off in the second round.

Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, is two-under in his second round and is one-under for the championship.

Nick Watney and Simon Khan share second place at six-under par, but are in the middle of their second rounds.

Bryce Molder, Kuchar's collegiate teammate at Georgia Tech, carded a five- under 67 on Friday and is tied in the clubhouse with Jason Dufner (66), teenager Seung Yul Noh (71) and Dustin Johnson (68) at five-under 139.

Kuchar took the first-round lead Friday morning when he returned to finish the round. After a quick turnaround, Kuchar collected his first second-round birdie from 12 feet at the par-five second.

At the par-four sixth, Kuchar hit a terrible drive into a hazard and had to take a penalty drop. He walked off with a bogey, but stayed in a tie for the lead at five-under par.

Kuchar took sole possession of the lead with a short birdie putt at the par- five 11th. One hole later, he ran home a seven-footer for birdie at the par- three 12th and made it three in a row thanks to a five-footer at 13.

Kuchar was three ahead and parred his last five holes for his spot atop the leaderboard.

Kuchar has never won a major championship and is currently seventh on the United States Ryder Cup points list. Eight automatic spots will be finalized at the completion of the PGA Championship.

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.
