Birdie Leaves Week Against Par

Golf Betting Lines

Several big-name players missed the 54-hole cut of one-under-par 214. Paul McGinley (215), David Howell (217), defending champion Colin Montgomerie (220) and Darren Clarke (224) all missed Sunday's final round.

 

Cary, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Jenkins used four back-nine birdies on Saturday to post a six-under 66 and move atop the leaderboard after two rounds of the SAS Championship. He stands at 10-under-par 134 and is one ahead at Prestonwood Country Club. Chip Beck, playing in his third Champions Tour event, fired a seven-under 65 and is tied for second place with overnight co-leader Loren Roberts, who shot a four-under 68. The pair is knotted at minus-nine.

 

Adcock moved one ahead with a seven-foot birdie putt at the ninth, but Jenkins matched him in first with a long birdie putt at the 10th. Adcock once again forged ahead with a 12-footer for birdie at 12, but things changed at the 13th.

 

Jenkins rolled in a 17-foot birdie putt at 13, while Adcock made a mess of the hole en route to a bogey. Jenkins was now one ahead, but Roberts was making a move.

 

Both Roberts and Jenkins birdied the 15th and 17th holes. Jenkins' 17-footer at 17 boosted him to 10-under par. Jenkins had 31 feet for birdie at the last, but two-putted for par. Roberts again had a makable birdie try from 13 feet at the last, but missed.

 

He ran home a nine-foot birdie putt at 12, then parred his next two. From there, Beck collected four consecutive birdies to close his round, including a six-footer at the last.

 

"It's a big horse race here," said Beck, looking for his first win since 1992. "I'm just so thankful to have the opportunity to play golf again. It's like heaven on earth."

 

Jay Haas, second to Roberts on the tour's money list, carded a six-under 66 and is alone in fifth place at seven-under-par 137. Last week's winner Andy Bean (69) and Jim Ahern (70) are tied for sixth place at minus-five.

 

Raymond Floyd (69), Gil Morgan (69), two-time winner this year Brad Bryant (71) and in his second tournament on the elder circuit, Scott Hoch (71), share eighth at four-under-par 140.

 

Bradley Dredge, who played with Harrington, shared the lead with the Irishman as they went to the 11th hole. However, the Welshman struggled to a double- bogey on 11 and never was able to catch up. He drained a birdie putt at the last to finish alongside Anthony Wall and Edward Loar.
