Puerto Rico Open washed out by heavy rain

Golf Betting Lines

03/11/2010 - Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The first round of the Puerto Rico Open was washed out Thursday by another round of heavy rain that left the Trump International course unplayable.

Only 18 players in a full PGA Tour field teed off before play was suspended at 7:19 a.m. local time. After a six-hour delay, the decision was made to postpone the round for the day.

It will resume Friday morning at 7:15 a.m. (6:15 a.m. ET) with preferred lies in effect.

The PGA Tour said that six inches of rain had fallen by 2 p.m. local time. Five inches of precipitation fell on the club last weekend and it received nearly a half-inch earlier this week.

Skip Kendall was one of only nine players to finish a hole before the weather stoppage. Kendall eagled the par-four 10th, holing a seven-iron from 159 yards to take the early lead at two-under.

It was the only hole Kendall played. He couldn't see the ball go in because the rain storms made it too dark.

Germany's Alex Cejka birdied No. 1 and five players made par on their only hole. Harrison Frazar was the only player to finish two holes and he was one- over par.

Michael Bradley is the defending champion after he held off Brett Quigley and Jason Day last year for his third PGA Tour victory.

Only three of the top 100 players in the world rankings are in Puerto Rico. Most of the best players are competing in the WGC-CA Championship in Florida.

NOTES: Friday will mark the fifth time this season that a tournament will feature preferred lies...It was the first time in the Puerto Rico Open's three-year history that there was a weather suspension.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
