Golf Betting Lines

09/04/2010 - Pebble Beach, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ted Schulz fired a eight-under 64 at Pebble Beach on Saturday to grab a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the First Tee Open.

Schulz, who is making his 12th Champions Tour start of the year, completed two rounds at 12-under-par 132.

Pebble Beach and Del Monte Golf Course were used for the first two rounds. Sunday's final round will be contested at Pebble Beach.

First-round leader Mark Calcavecchia managed a one-under 71 Saturday, but slipped into a tie for second place at minus-nine. Tom Kite, who won the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, carded a four-under 68 at Pebble to join Calcavecchia in second place.

Tom Pernice, Jr. is alone in fourth place at eight-under-par 136 after shooting 70 at Del Monte.

Schulz started on the back nine at Pebble Beach and got off to a fast start with birdies on 10 and 11. He posted back-to-back birdies from the 13th to jump to eight-under.

The 50-year-old birdied the 16th, but gave that stroke right back with a bogey on the 17th. Schulz made the turn at minus-nine thanks a birdie on the 18th.

Schulz, who won twice on the PGA Tour, made it two in a row again as he birdied the first. He birdied the third and sixth to move to 12-under. Schulz parred his final three holes to grab the second-round lead for the first time on the Champions Tour.

Calcavecchia started on the first at Pebble Beach on Saturday. His front nine consisted of eight pars and a single birdie on the par-three fifth.

Around the turn, Calcavecchia got to 10-under with a birdie on No. 10. However, he bogeyed three of the next four holes to slide to minus-seven. He got two of those strokes back with birdies at 16 and 17.

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."
