Hoffman rolls to big win at Deutsche Bank
Golf Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Norton, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Charley Hoffman fired a nine-under 62 Monday to roll to a five-stroke win at the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Hoffman, wearing his Celtic green, missed the course record at the TPC Boston by a single stroke, but did match the tournament's scoring record of 22-under- par 262.
The victory was Hoffman's second on the PGA Tour. He also won the 2007 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Geoff Ogilvy closed with a five-under 66 to end in a share of second place at 17-under-par 267. He was joined there by Luke Donald (69) and third-round leader Jason Day, who managed an even-par 71 in the final round.
Tiger Woods closed with a three-under 68 to finish tied for 11th at 10-under- par 274.
Phil Mickelson again could have passed Woods at the top of the world rankings, but struggled badly on the back nine. Mickelson shot five-over 76 to slide into a share of 25th at minus-seven.
Woods was even-par for his round through 14 holes, with just one birdie and one bogey. He caught fire down the stretch though. Woods birdied three of the last four holes to post three-under 68.
For Woods, it marked the first time he had three straight rounds in the 60s since the 2009 Tour Championship.
However, he finished outside the top-10 for the sixth straight event. That marks the first time that has ever happened in his PGA Tour career. He had finished outside the top-10 seven times in eight starts in 2001, but the one time in the top-10 was a victory at the WGC-NEC Invitational.
Mickelson needed a top-four finish to pass Woods atop the world rankings, but had a birdie, two bogeys, a double-bogey and a triple-bogey on the back nine en route to his 76. That dropped him 14 spots behind Woods on the leaderboard.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
