Shin replaces Miyazato as women's No. 1
Golf Betting Lines
07/26/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jiyai Shin replaced Ai Miyazato atop the world rankings for women's golf following her win Sunday at the lucrative Evian Masters.
Shin birdied the 18th hole for a one-shot victory over three players, assuming the No. 1 ranking for the second time this season.
The 22-year-old South Korean is one of three players who have been No. 1 since Lorena Ochoa's retirement. Shin took over the top spot on the day Ochoa played her farewell round and still had it when she withdrew the Wednesday of the State Farm Classic to have an emergency appendectomy.
Since then, Miyazato and Cristie Kerr have exchanged the top ranking with Shin dropping all the way back to No. 4 at the beginning of last week, behind Suzann Pettersen.
With her win in France over one of the best non-major fields in women's golf, Shin moved up three places to re-gain the No. 1 ranking. Miyazato, Kerr and Pettersen slipped one spot apiece, while Yani Tseng remained No. 5 this week.
The next nine places in the rankings also remained unchanged, with Na Yeon Choi, Paula Creamer, Anna Nordqvist, Song-Hee Kim, Karrie Webb, In Kyung Kim, Michelle Wie, Angela Stanford and Inbee Park occupying positions 6-14 again.
Morgan Pressel, one of the runners-up to Shin, moved up two places to No. 15, bumping Sakura Yokomine and Mi-Jeong Jeon down one spot apiece. Pressel missed a shorter birdie putt than Shin's on the 18th hole to squander a chance to force a playoff.
Chie Arimura and Catriona Matthew remained 18th and 19th and Sun Ju Ahn moved up one place to round out the top 20 following a good showing in France. Matthew will defend her title at this week's Women's British Open.
Alexis Thompson, the 15-year-old rising star, also finished as a runner-up to Shin on Sunday and vaulted 75 places to No. 74 this week. Thompson was trying to become the youngest winner in LPGA Tour history by almost three years.
Choi was the other runner-up to Shin in France.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
