Rock wins in Abu Dhabi; Tiger ties for 3rd

Golf Betting Lines

01/29/2012 - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robert Rock trumped some of the best players in the world Sunday, including fellow third-round co-leader Tiger Woods, to win the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.

Rock shot a two-under 70 on Sunday to finish the championship at 13-under 275.

Rory McIlroy, the No. 3 player in the world, posted a three-under 69 and came in second for the second straight year. The reigning U.S. Open champion lost by a stroke at minus-12.

Woods didn't get anything going on Sunday. He hit only two fairways in the final round, sprayed iron shots all over Abu Dhabi Golf Club and ended up with an even-par 72.

Woods shared third place with Graeme McDowell and Thomas Bjorn, who both had four-under 68s. McDowell played the final seven holes in five-under par thanks to an ace and chip-in birdie, but it wasn't enough. The trio finished at minus-11.

This Sunday belonged to Rock, a 34-year-old Englishman, who was once a club pro before landing on the European Tour.

With a two-shot lead over McIlroy and three clear of Woods on the par-five 18th tee, Rock made things interesting.

He drove into a hazard near water on the right side and decided to take a penalty drop and hit his third from the fairway. Rock played down the fairway safely after the lost stroke.

Woods needed an eagle to get in at 13-under, but drove poorly into the left rough, then came up 60 yards short and left with his second. His third ran slightly through the green, but Rock opened the door ever so slightly.

Rock knocked his fourth 35 feet short of the flagstick. He still had two putts for the title and lagged his par putt inches from the hole. Rock marked and let Woods and Peter Hanson finish the hole before he tapped in for bogey and the victory.

The win was his second on the European Tour. Rock broke through last year at the Italian Open.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
