Third Round Birdie Wrap Salvage On Service

"We're very good friends," said Clarke. "I would certainly like to be four or five shots ahead of him as I could have been as opposed to tied for the lead, but we'll have some fun."

 

Bjorn, who won this year's Irish Open, recorded pars on his next four holes, then ran home an eight-foot birdie putt at the closing hole to get in at minus-11.

 

"It has got a huge place in my heart and always will have," said Bjorn, who has nine wins on tour. "Any pro will tell you their first victory is the most special one. I don't think we play a finer venue on the tour. When it is like this and the weather is fine, it is spectacular."

 

Dearborn, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Loren Roberts will be seeking his fourth win of the season Sunday, and his second major title in 11 months. After winning three straight full-field events to begin his first full season on the Champions Tour, Roberts will carry a two-shot lead into the final round of the Senior Players Championship after shooting an eight-under 64 in the third round on Saturday.

 

Roberts began the third round in a tie for 15th place after the second round -- suspended due to inclement weather on Friday -- was completed in the morning.

 

No one believed Roberts' early-season success was a fluke. Beginning part-time on the Champions Tour last summer, Roberts won the JELD-WEN Tradition in a playoff over Dana Quigley for his first Seniors major.

 

But since winning the MasterCard Championship, Turtle Bay Championship and ACE Group Classic to begin 2006, the 51-year-old Roberts has since collected eight top-10 finishes without another win.

 

Roberts broke a four-way tie for the lead when he drained a four-foot birdie putt at the par-four 16th to get to 12-under. It was the first of three consecutive birdies to end his bogey-free round at the TPC of Michigan.

 

Don Pooley -- one of eight players who held a share of the second-round lead -- now heads a group of four players who are tied for fifth place. Pooley shot a two-under 70 in the third round and is tied with Bobby Wadkins (65), Des Smyth (68) and Jim Thorpe (69) at minus-10.

 

Ozaki slipped further in the third round, shooting a one-over 73 to tumble into a tie for 16th place at seven-under.

 

Two other co-second round leaders slipped even further: Mike Reid and Jerry Pate, who are among a group tied for 19th place at minus-six. Defending champion Peter Jacobsen is also there after a third-round 66.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
