Golf Betting Lines

08/03/2008 - Berkshire, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ji-Yai Shin fired a six-under 66 on Sunday to earn her first major championship at the Women's British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club.

Shin, 20, plays primarily on the Korean LPGA Tour so this was not just her first major title, but her first victory on the LPGA Tour. She finished at 18- under 270 to win by three.

Yani Tseng also shot a six-under 66 on Sunday to take second at 15-under 273.

Overnight leader Yuri Fudoh traded the lead in the final round with several players, but was ultimately done in by a bogey at the ninth. She only managed a one-under 71 on Sunday and tied for third place with Eun-Hee Ji, who carded a 67. The pair came in at 14-under 274.

Ai Miyazato also shared first on Sunday, but finished with a two-under 70. She was fifth at minus-13, one shot better than former U.S. Women's Open champion Cristie Kerr, who also posted a 70 on Sunday.

Last year's winner Lorena Ochoa inched close to the lead, but never truly threatened. She ended up with a three-under 69 and shared seventh with Momoko Ueda, who also had a 69, at 11-under 277.

Annika Sorenstam, the 2003 winner, played in what is expected to be her final major championship. The Swede, who stated she was walking away from competitive golf at the end of the year, polished off her major career with a birdie at her last hole for a four-under 68 and a share of 24th place at minus-six.

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.
