Golf Betting Lines

08/09/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Play has been suspended due to inclement weather during the third round of the PGA Championship at the South Course at Oakland Hills.

All players were brought in off the course, generally signifying the delay is expected to last a little while.

Heavy rain hammered the course and thunder and lightning are in the area. This is the second stoppage of the championship. Play was halted for one hour, 25 minutes during Thursday's first round.

Thunderstorms are in the forecast all day Saturday and the greens are already starting to puddle.

The final pairing of leader J.B. Holmes and Charlie Wi have yet to tee off in the third round. Three other groups have yet to complete a hole.

Ben Curtis, the 2003 British Open champion, and Justin Rose are tied for second with Wi at even-par 140.

Andres Romero held a share of the lead when play was suspended on Thursday, but a bogey on the 18th hole Friday morning dropped him out of the first-round lead.

He shot an eight-over 78 in round two to fall down the leaderboard, but Romero fired the lowest round of the championship on Saturday with a five-under 65. He has vaulted into a tie for eighth place at two-over 212.

Steve Flesch is two-under through five holes of round three and is tied for fifth at plus-one. David Toms, the 2001 PGA Champion, and Henrik Stenson are also at plus-one, but have yet to register a score on Saturday.

Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, will have a six-foot eagle putt at the sixth hole when play resumes. He is even-par through five holes and at plus- three for the championship.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
