Golf Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Seung-yul Noh got up and down for birdie on the final hole Sunday to fend off K.J. Choi and win the Malaysian Open by a single stroke.

The South Korean Noh shot four-under 68 and completed his first European Tour title at 14-under-par 274.

"I first won on the Asian Tour in 2008, but I struggled last year, so to win early in this year I am very happy," Noh stated. "Coincidentally, when I was playing a practice round with K.J. earlier in the week he asked me when my last win was and when I told him it was in 2008 he said, 'Isn't it about time you won?' For it to happen this week, I couldn't think of a better situation."

Choi also birdied the last to post three-under 69, which left him at minus-13.

Rhys Davies and Kiradech Aphibarnrat shared the lead entering the final round at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club, but closed with one-under 71s to share third place with Soren Hansen (70) at 12-under-par 276.

With as many as six different players owning a piece of the lead during the final round, Noh made a late move to grab the win.

Noh chipped in for birdie on the first to grab a share of the lead. He fell behind as he parred the next three holes, but again moved into a share of the lead with a birdie on the par-five fifth.

The South Korean parred five in a row from the sixth before a birdie on No. 11 gave him a piece of the lead with Choi and Aphibarnrat.

Noh fell one behind as he faltered to a bogey on the par-four 13th. He showed his mettle though with a birdie on 16 to regain a share of the lead. Choi then bogeyed the 17th to give Noh the lead by himself.

Choi fought back with his first birdie of the week on the par-five closing hole to match Noh at minus-13.

The 18-year-old held off Choi, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, with a four-foot birdie putt at the last to claim his first European Tour win.

"I'm not disappointed at all. I played well and tried my best," said Choi. "Hats off to Seung-yul, he played well and had a fantastic round. I'm happy with how my game has improved and I have a lot to look forward to."

Danny Willett closed with back-to-back rounds of four-under 68 to end alone in sixth place at 11-under-par 277. Thongchai Jaidee (72) and Johan Edfors (71) were one stroke further back at minus-10.

NOTES: Anthony Kang, the 2009 champion, finished at even-par 288 after posting a 72 on Sunday...Two-time champion Arjun Atwal carded a three-under 69 Sunday to share 28th place at minus-three...The European Tour heads to the United States next week for the WGC - CA Championship, where Phil Mickelson is the defending champion...The following week the tour is in Morocco for the Hassan II Golf Trophy, where Ernie Els won last year.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
