Webb blows away field at ANZ Ladies Masters

Golf Betting Lines

03/07/2010 - Gold Coast, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Karrie Webb, who led by one entering Sunday's final round of the ANZ Ladies Masters, fired a course-record 11-under 61 to blow away the field for a six-stroke victory.

Webb completed her seventh ANZ Ladies Masters title at 26-under-par 262. Her total of 262 matched her own tournament-record score.

Katherine Hull, the 2009 winner, could not keep pace with Webb as she closed with a six-under 66 to share second place with Bo-Mee Lee, who also shot 66. Hull and Lee tied for second at 20-under-par 268.

Hee-Kyung Seo shot a 66 of her own to finish alone in fourth at minus-18. So Yeon Ryu was three shots back at 15-under-par 273 after a final-round 70.

Webb flew out of the gate with three birdies in her first four holes at the Royal Pines Resort. She holed out for eagle on the short par-four seventh to jump to 20-under.

The Australian posted back-to-back birdies from the ninth, then started a run of three birdies in a four-hole span at the 12th. Webb birdied the 18th for the third straight day to seal the win.

"I stood in the 13th fairway and thought to myself that I am eight-under for the day and yet I am only two ahead," Webb stated. "I was mentally exhausted. Then, a couple of holes later when I stood on the 16th tee, I couldn't quite work out how many under I was and then when I realized I was ten-under and I briefly allowed myself to think that if I birdied the final three holes then 59 might be possible. Then I thought I just am too tired to even think of 59."

Tamie Durdin fired a seven-under 65 Sunday to finish alongside Iben Tinning (68) at 14-under-par 274. Stacy Lewis (68), Lindsey Wright (67) and Amanda Blumenherst (70), who held at least a piece of the lead after the first and second rounds, shared eighth place at minus-13.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
