Dunlap, Sisk share Mylan Classic lead
Golf Betting Lines
09/02/2010 - Canonsburg, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Dunlap and Geoffrey Sisk both carded rounds of six-under 65 on Thursday to share the 18-hole lead at the inaugural Mylan Classic.
Dunlap and Sisk collected eight birdies and two bogeys apiece on the Southpointe course to take a one-stroke lead over seven players, including Tommy Gainey.
With two victories already this season, Gainey is seeking an automatic promotion to the PGA Tour, rewarded to any player who wins three Nationwide Tour events in the same season.
Two other players -- money leader Chris Kirk and Martin Piller -- have also won twice this season, but neither one is in the field this week to compete with Gainey.
Joining Gainey at 66 were Dicky Pride, Brent Delahoussaye, Brian Smock, Jonathan Kaye, Paul Stankowski and Bronson La'Cassie.
PGA Tour player Rocco Mediate, a native of nearby Greensburg, Pa., led a six- way tie at 67 after making his first career start in a Nationwide Tour event.
Dunlap is a 47-year-old grinder whose career stretches back to the inaugural Nationwide Tour season in 1990. He has captured two wins on the developmental tour, the last coming in Panama in 2008.
On Thursday, Dunlap played in the second group off the No. 1 tee and made an early bogey at the second hole. But he bounced back with three birdies to shoot a 33 on the front nine.
Dunlap started birdie-bogey on the back nine, but later birdied four of his final five holes to get into the clubhouse with the early lead.
Sisk started on the 10th tee and birdied six of his first seven holes, shooting a 30 on the back nine. He followed with an up-and-down front nine, making two birdies and two bogeys to join Dunlap atop the leaderboard.
The 45-year-old Sisk has never finished better than a tie for third place on tour. He has missed the cut in 11 of his 17 starts this season.
Sam Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, opened with a 70 while playing on a sponsor's exemption. Palmer is the tournament's honorary chairman and a native of Latrobe, Pa.
NOTES: Mediate was eligible for the Mylan Classic because he did not qualify for the PGA Tour playoffs...Dunlap was a two-time winner on the Canadian Tour in the 1990s.

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.
