08/14/2008 -
Rochester, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bob May, who lost the 2000 PGA Championship
in a playoff to Tiger Woods, posted a six-under 64 on Thursday to take the
first-round lead of the Xerox Classic.
Dave Schultz is alone in second place at five-under 65 at Irondequoit Country
Club.
May began on the back nine Thursday and flew out of the gate. He birdied his
first two holes, then parred No. 12. May, who has battled back injuries since
his playoff loss at Valhalla, birdied the 13th and parred his last five on his
opening side.
May birdied the par-three second and three holes later, matched Schultz in the
lead at minus-five.
He had trouble finding the fairway at the par-five ninth, but May still
managed a birdie to get sole possession of first place.
"It was just well-rounded golf today," said May. "Everything was pretty good.
I've been striking the ball really well and now I'm starting to score with
it."
May is 29th on the Nationwide Tour money list and the top-25 at year's end get
their PGA Tour cards for next season. First place this week pays $108,000, but
May dismissed all talk of the future.
"You don't even worry about it," said May. "We've got like nine tournaments
left, or something like that. There's so much golf to be played. I just want
to play some solid golf and see what happens."
Former PGA Tour player Steve Pate, No. 2 on the money list Greg Chalmers,
Craig Bowden, Brendon Todd and Jon Rusk share third place at four-under-par
66.
Two-time winner this year Colt Knost, Brian Stuard, Hunter Haas, Brendon de
Jonge, Vance Veazey, Kyle Reifers and Brian Smock are knotted in ninth at
three-under 67.

Odds to Win the 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament
As of February 9, 2007, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
Other teams that the MySportsbook.com members seem to believe will win it all include the west coasts’ top team #2 UCLA (6-1), #3 OSU behind man-child Greg Oden (8-1), and #4 Wisconsin (10-1) behind their defense which has given up 70+ points only three times all season.
