Francesco leads Edoardo in battle of Molinaris
Golf Betting Lines
08/28/2010 - Perthshire, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Francesco Molinari shot a four-under 68 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over his older brother Edoardo after the third round of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
Francesco Molinari finished 54 holes at 10-under 206 to lead big brother by a shot.
This is the final week for Ryder Cup qualifying and Francesco has already clinched a spot on Colin Montgomerie's team. Edoardo Molinari can't make the team on points, but would have to be a candidate for a captain's pick.
A win from Edoardo Molinari on Sunday would have to put him at the top of Monty's list. The problem is, to get that victory, the man who will have to stop him is his kid brother.
The elder Molinari, who won this year's Scottish Open, shot a three-under 69 on Saturday.
Second-round co-leader Julien Guerrier (73), Oliver Wilson (68), Gregory Bourdy (70), Stephen Gallacher (71) and Simon Dyson (70) are knotted in third place at minus-eight.
Dyson is very much in the mix for a European Ryder Cup spot. Peter Hanson and Miguel Angel Jimenez hold down the last two spots in points, but a Dyson victory would get him on the team.
Jimenez is part of a large tie for eighth, one stroke behind Dyson at seven- under 209. Hanson struggled to a three-over 75 on Saturday and fell into a tie for 32nd place at minus-three.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
