Risdon defeats Bradford in playoff
Golf Betting Lines
06/29/2008 -
Calgary, Alberta (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Risdon managed just a one-under 70
Sunday, then birdied the first playoff hole to defeat George Bradford and win
the ATB Financial Classic at Cottonwood Golf and Country Club.
Bradford fired an eight-under 63 to join Risdon at 20-under-par 264. They tied
the tournament scoring record that Mike Grob set last year.
The duo returned to the 18th hole for the playoff and Risdon quickly ended the
extra session with a birdie for his second Canadian Tour win.
Andy Walker, Josh Habig, Steve Conway and Ricky Romano all closed with rounds
of six-under 65 to end in a share of third at 19-under-par 265. They were
joined there by Kris Wasylowich, who carded a 68 on Sunday.
Bradford eagled the par-five first, then ran off four birdies in a five-hole
span from the third to jump to 18-under. Around the turn, he also made eagle
on the par-five 10th.
After giving a shot back with a bogey on the 12th, Bradford birdied the 15th
to get back to 20-under. He parred the last three to end there.
Risdon traded a birdie for a bogey from the first. He converted back-to-back
birdies from the ninth to move to 21-under.
He fell back to minus-19, however, with bogeys on 14 and 15. Risdon was able
to birdie the par-three 17th to force the playoff.
Mike Grob, the 2007 champion, ended at 18-under-par 266 after a final-round
66. He was joined in eighth place by Jordan Krantz, Mike Sica and Clint Rice.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
