Bandon, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cheyenne Woods, the stroke-play medalist, picked up a 4 & 3 win Wednesday at the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship. Woods, the niece of Tiger Woods, took down Ashley Edwards in the first round and will face Bethany Wu in the second round on Thursday. Wu needed 19 holes to beat Ashlan Ramsey.

 

Woods and Edwards traded wins on seven and eight, then Edwards won the ninth with a par and was 3-down. It remained that way until she struggled to a bogey on the 14th and the match was over when they halved 15th.

 

Stephanie Kono and Tiffany Lua, who were teammates on the 2010 U.S. Curtis Cup team, both advanced on Wednesday. Lua will battle Christine Wolf, who qualified for the 2011 U.S. Women's Open.

 

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The PGA Tour announced several changes to the Bob Hope event in La Quinta, California, including a different name and format. Starting in 2012, the event formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic will be called The Humana Challenge. The tour, Humana and the William J. Clinton Foundation entered into an eight-year agreement.

 

"Humana, the Clinton Foundation and the PGA Tour will work together to promote health and well-being in order to positively impact people's behavior and improve their quality of life," said PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem.

 

The number of courses in the rotation was trimmed as well. LaQuinta Country Club, PGA West Nicklaus Private Course and PGA West Palmer Private will remain part of the tournament, but SilverRock Resort was dropped.

 

PGA Tour rookie Jhonattan Vegas won this year's Bob Hope tournament in a playoff over Gary Woodland and Bill Haas.

 

Bubba Watson is making a rare appearance on the European Tour and he struggled in the first round. He shot a three-over 74 and is tied for 90th place.

 

They're all chasing the co-leaders, who both played in the morning wave.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
