Derksen grabs two-shot lead in Korea
Golf Betting Lines
04/24/2009 -
Jeju Island, South Korea (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robert-Jan Derksen shot a three-
under 69 on Friday to take the second-round lead at the Ballantine's
Championship.
Derksen, coming off three consecutive missed cuts, stands at nine-under-par
135 for a two-shot lead over Wook-Soon Kang (69) and Thongchai Jaidee (71).
The 35-year-old Dutchman was one of only a handful of players who were able to
break 70 on Friday as windy, rainy conditions struck Pinx Golf Club.
"It was a difficult day," said Derksen. "Every par was actually a good hole,
and I managed to even squeeze in a few birdies."
First round co-leaders Mark Brown and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano were among
those who struggled.
Brown shot a one-over 73 and shares fourth place with Pablo Martin (69) and
Alessandro Tadini (71) at six-under 138. Fernandez-Castano stumbled to a 74
and is among six players tied for seventh at five-under 139.
Top stars Ernie Els (142), Henrik Stenson (142), Lee Westwood (144) and Fred
Couples (145) all made the cut, which fell at one-over 145 following a day of
tough scoring.
Defending champion Graeme McDowell shot a 73 and missed the cut at five-over
149.
Derksen began his second round with a birdie at the 10th hole. He collected
two further birdies on the back nine, at the 15th and 17th holes, to make the
turn in 33 shots.
He made his third birdie in five holes at No. 1, but stumbled to a bogey at
the next hole -- his first dropped shot of the tournament. Derksen birdied the
third to reach 11-under par, then dumped two shots with a double-bogey at the
fourth.
Derksen ended the round with a birdie at the ninth hole and heads into the
weekend seeking his third European Tour win. His last victory came at the 2005
Madeira Island Open.
"I hit one bad drive, which was on No. 4, and made a double-bogey there.
That happens under these conditions," said Derksen. "If you hit one bad shot
on the wrong hole, you're going to get a big number."
Considering the conditions, Jaidee, who opened the tournament with a 66 on
Thursday, did well to record three birdies and two bogeys.
"I'm very happy with that," he said.
Kang, who posted four birdies and just one bogey, was pleased with his
shot-making.
"I got the ball very close to the pin, but because of the very strong winds,
unfortunately I had to miss a few putting shots or opportunities," he said.
"Despite the very bad weather, I played very hard, and I think that has led to
the good results that I achieved."

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.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
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.
