Golf Betting Lines
08/03/2008 - Berkshire, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ji-Yai Shin fired a six-under 66 on Sunday to earn her first major championship at the Women's British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club.
Shin, 20, plays primarily on the Korean LPGA Tour so this was not just her first major title, but her first victory on the LPGA Tour. She finished at 18- under 270 to win by three.
Yani Tseng also shot a six-under 66 on Sunday to take second at 15-under 273.
Overnight leader Yuri Fudoh traded the lead in the final round with several players, but was ultimately done in by a bogey at the ninth. She only managed a one-under 71 on Sunday and tied for third place with Eun-Hee Ji, who carded a 67. The pair came in at 14-under 274.
Ai Miyazato also shared first on Sunday, but finished with a two-under 70. She was fifth at minus-13, one shot better than former U.S. Women's Open champion Cristie Kerr, who also posted a 70 on Sunday.
Last year's winner Lorena Ochoa inched close to the lead, but never truly threatened. She ended up with a three-under 69 and shared seventh with Momoko Ueda, who also had a 69, at 11-under 277.
Annika Sorenstam, the 2003 winner, played in what is expected to be her final major championship. The Swede, who stated she was walking away from competitive golf at the end of the year, polished off her major career with a birdie at her last hole for a four-under 68 and a share of 24th place at minus-six.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
