07/31/2010 - White Sulphur Springs, WV (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeff Overton shot a four-under 66 on Saturday to remain in the lead after three rounds of The Greenbrier Classic.
Chasing his first PGA Tour win, Overton finished 54 holes on The Old White Course with an 18-under 192 to lead D.A. Points by three shots and Boo Weekley by five.
While Overton did enough to remain atop the leaderboard, the real drama Saturday came from a couple of players chasing history in front of him on the course.
Points went 10-under par through his first 16 holes and needed just one more birdie to shoot a 59. But he three-putted for bogey at the 17th and made a routine par at the 18th to fall two strokes short.
Points' 61 moved him to 15-under 195, good for second place behind Overton. He wasn't the only player who flirted with shooting a 59 on Saturday.
Several hours earlier, J.B. Holmes birdied his last hole to shoot a 60 and take the early clubhouse lead at 12-under 198.
Incredibly, it was the fourth round of 60 or better on the PGA Tour in the last four weeks.
Paul Goydos, of course, shot the fourth 59 in PGA Tour history on July 8 during the first round of the John Deere Classic. Steve Stricker had a 60 the same day, nearly holing out for a 59.
Last week, Carl Pettersson shot a 60 during the third round of the Canadian Open, just missing a long birdie putt at the 18th hole that would have given him a 59.
Holmes' bid for 59 was done in by a few holes. He bogeyed the par-three third when he couldn't get up-and-down from behind the green. He missed a four-foot birdie putt at No. 11 and a 10-footer for eagle at No. 17.
In all, he made just the one bogey and 11 birdies, including a 10-foot birdie putt at the 18th to finish off the 60.
"If I had shot 60 maybe this time last year, probably get a little more attention than it's probably gonna get," said Holmes. "But there's been a lot of great scores lately."
Points had a better chance to shoot a 59 because he reached 10-under for the round with an 11-foot birdie putt at the 16th, giving him two more holes to turn the trick.
But he hit into a bunker at the par-five 17th and then three-putted for his only bogey to all but end the chase. He knocked his tee shot at the par-three 18th to just 29 feet, setting up his closing par.
Most of his scoring was done earlier in the round, as Points made a 3 on nine of his first 10 holes, playing them at seven-under par. He two-putted from 38 feet for birdie at No. 12 and rolled in a 26-footer for birdie at No. 13.
Overton had six birdies, all in his last 11 holes. He played the previous seven holes at two-over par.
Weekley made a 10-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole to shoot a 67 and move into third place by himself at 13-under 197.
Holmes shared fourth with Jonathan Byrd (64), Brendon de Jonge (65) and Jimmy Walker (67).

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
