Playoff for PGA Championship; penalty question holding it up
Golf Betting Lines
08/15/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson and Martin Kaymer appear headed to a playoff to determine the winner of the 92nd PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
The trio finished regulation at 11-under 277, but there is a rules question involving Johnson.
He held a one-stroke lead on the 18th tee in the final pairing, but pushed his drive right into the gallery. He hit from a sandy spot well left of the green, but the shot came into question after the round.
Johnson grounded his club and if it is determined to be a bunker, that would be a two-stroke penalty and Johnson would miss the extra session.
Johnson shot a one-under 71, but it may turn to a 73 if the penalty is called.
Watson fired a four-under 68 and Kaymer holed a 15-foot par save at the last for his two-under 70.
Zach Johnson (70) and Rory McIlroy (72) tied at 10-under 278.
Tiger Woods had a one-over 73 and tied for 28th at minus-two, while Phil Mickelson carded a five-under 67 to vault into a tie for 12th at six-under 282.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
