Miller leads in Tennessee; Daly one back

Golf Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - Farragut, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Zack Miller posted a six-under 66 on Thursday to take the opening-round lead of the Knoxville Sentinel Open, but a multiple major champion lurks close behind.

John Daly, the 1991 PGA Champion and 1995 British Open winner, shot a five- under 67 and is tied for second place with former PGA Tour player Kirk Triplett, David Hearn, William McGirt, Justin Peters, Skip Kendall, Andrew Svoboda and Robert Damron.

Daly began on the 10th tee Thursday and rattled off three straight birdies. He finished off his first nine with two more birdies and a bogey to make the turn at four-under.

Daly eagled the par-five first, but back-to-back bogeys at five and six momentarily derailed his round. He birdied the seventh to get to five-under and stayed there with two closing pars.

Miller is a tour rookie and in his Nationwide Tour bio, he said he'd round out his dream foursome with Charles Barkley, John McEnroe and Daly.

Miller also got off to a big start on Thursday. He eagled the first hole, but only managed one other birdie the rest of his front nine.

Miller kicked off the second nine with two consecutive birdies from the 10th. He parred the par-four 12th, but birdied the par-three 13th to get to six- under par.

He parred his last five to secure the first-round lead.

Miller has two top-10s in his rookie campaign, including a tie for 10th at his first event, the Bogota Open, and a shared third at the Fort Smith Classic. He fired a 62 in the first round of the Wayne Gretzky Classic, but a second-round 73 led to a tie for 17th.

Chris Kirk, who is fourth on the Nationwide Tour money list, headlines a group of players tied for 10th at four-under 68. Tag Ridings and John Riegger, both in the top 20 on the money list, are also part of the group two shots off the lead.

NOTES: Daly isn't the only former major champion in the field this week. Rich Beem, the 2002 PGA Champion, carded a two-under 70 and is tied for 34th place...Leading money winner Jamie Lovemark is not in the field...Last year's winner Kevin Johnson is also not on hand this week.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
