Anderson and Clark lead BMW Charity Pro-Am

Golf Betting Lines

05/14/2009 - Greer, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Anderson and Michael Clark II are tied atop the leaderboard at nine-under par after the first round of the BMW Charity Pro-Am.

The tournament features Nationwide Tour players coupled with amateurs over the first three rounds on three different courses. Thornblade Club is a par-71 layout and will host the final round. The Carolina Country Club and Bright's Creek Golf Club are par-72 courses and finalize the rotation.

Anderson shot a nine-under 63 at the Carolina Club, while Clark managed a nine-under 62 at Thorndale. Both were course records at their respective sites.

Fabian Gomez and Dustin Bray are knotted in third place at minus-eight. Gomez posted an eight-under 63 at Thorndale and Bray's 64 came at the Carolina Club.

Anderson began on the first tee at the Carolina Club and played pretty ordinary golf over the front nine. He tallied birdies at six and nine to make the turn at two-under, but caught fire on the back side.

He rattled off five consecutive birdies from the 11th to find himself atop the leaderboard at minus-seven. Anderson parred the 16th, but closed with back-to- back birdies for his 63.

Anderson finished with a 29 on his back nine and he could use a good week. Despite a tie for third at the Louisiana Open, Anderson has not finished inside the top 35 in any other tournament this year.

"I got off to a shaky start but I tried to take it one shot at a time," said Anderson, who won the 2004 SAS Carolina Classic.

Clark got off to a similar start as his fellow co-leader. He had two birdies in his first four holes, but didn't make another until the par-three ninth. That allowed him to turn at three-under, but a big back nine earned him his share of first.

The former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year birdied 10, 12 and 13 and was close to the lead. Clark polished off his round with birdies at 15, 17 and 18 to match Anderson in first -- at least in terms of par.

"When I finished, the guy in the scoring tent said I shot 62 and I thought 'Wait a minute, I had 63,'" said Clark. "I didn't realize this course was a par-71. I hit it where I was looking and it was nice to make some putts."

Daniel Summerhays, Esteban Toledo, Tom Johnson and Brent Delahoussaye are knotted in fifth place at minus-seven.

Jon Mills, Michael Putnam, David Morland IV, Geoffrey Sisk, Jeff Gove, Brenden Pappas, Scott Dunlap, D.J. Brigman, Jason Caron and Craig Bowden share ninth at six-under par.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
