Points Boosts Summerlin In Canyons

Golf Betting Lines

The 17-year-old birdied 17 on the way in to salvage her round.

 

At the par-three 13th, Ochoa hit a five-iron to six feet to set up another birdie. After a long delay on the 14th tee box, Ochoa found the fairway, knocked her second to four feet and rolled in her third consecutive birdie putt. She was six-under par, but that was short-lived as she bogeyed the par- five 15th.

 

Sorenstam, the two-time defending champion and a five-time winner of this event, bogeyed the second, but got the stroke back with a birdie at the par- five third.

 

The Swede broke into red figures with a three-foot birdie putt at the seventh. At the par-three eighth, Sorenstam drained a birdie putt from a similar length as the hole before and made the turn at minus-two.

 

For the first time in five years, Sorenstam is not a shoe-in to win Player of the Year honors, although a sixth title in this event would go a long way to closing the gap between herself and Ochoa.

 

Women's British Open champion Sherri Steinhauer and U.S. Women's Open runner- up Pat Hurst are tied for 10th at even-par 72.

 

Todd Fischer and Tom Pernice, Jr. both shot 65s at Summerlin on Friday and are tied for second place with Aaron Baddeley. The young Australian, who earned his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year at The Heritage, was tied for the lead with Points until a disastrous double-bogey at 18. He carded a six-under 65 at The Canyons and joined Fischer and Pernice at minus-12.

 

At the par-five ninth, Points rolled in a five-foot birdie putt to make the turn at four-under-par 31.

 

He continued his strong play on the second nine as he parred his first three holes on the back side. At the par-five 13th, Points tapped in a short birdie putt, then sank a six-footer at the 14th to reach 13-under par for the championship.

 

Points overcame the miscue at 16 with six-foot birdie putt at the par-three 17th and a two-footer for birdie at the last to grab first place.

 

Points is in serious jeopardy of losing his PGA Tour card unless he turns it on down the stretch. He stands 164th on the tour's money list and needs a push to crack the top-125.
