Golf Betting Lines
09/03/2010 -
Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Geoffrey Sisk was atop the leaderboard
Friday when the second round of the inaugural Mylan Classic was suspended due
to darkness.
Sisk, one of two first-round leaders, was minus-four for his round and 10-
under par for the tournament when play was called for the day.
There was a 80-minute weather delay that halted action. The second round was
suspended for the night by darkness at 7:50 p.m. (et) and will resume Saturday
at 7:45 a.m.
Dave Schultz was six-under through 17 holes to climb into second place at
minus-eight.
PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate, a native of nearby Greensburg, Pa., is one of
five players that shares the clubhouse lead at six-under-par 136.
Mediate, who is making his first career start in a Nationwide Tour event, shot
two-under 69 and was joined in third place by Jason Gore (67), Chris Nallen
(67), Kevin Kisner (68) and Mark Anderson (68).
Steve Wheatcroft, who grew up 10 minutes from Southpointe Golf Club, is also
minus-six and has one hole left in his second round.
Sisk started his round with a pair of pars before chipping in for his first
birdie on the par-three third. After the weather delay, he got to eight-under
with a birdie on the sixth.
The 45-year-old Sisk birdied the par-five eighth to move to minus-nine. He
parred three straight around the turn.
Sisk dropped in a birdie effort on the par-three 12th. He parred the next
three holes before play was halted for the night.
"I was a little nervous starting off because I just haven't been in this
position in a while," said Sisk. "I hit some good shots the first three holes.
The wind was very tricky to start the day, but I managed to calm down."
Canadian David Hearn is one of seven players tied for ninth at minus-five.
Scott Dunlap, who shared the first-round lead with Sisk, stumbled to a two-
over 73 to slide into a share of 18th at minus-four.
NOTES: Tommy Gainey, who could earn an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour
with a win, shot 73 to fall into a share of 27th...Arnold Palmer's grandson,
Sam Saunders, is playing on a sponsor's exemption. Saunders was five-over
after 13 holes to slide to plus-four overall, which left him tied for
104th...Twenty-seven players need to complete their second rounds on
Saturday.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
