Birdie Putt At Hole Victory

Golf Betting Lines

"That was a nice way to start off the tournament for sure," said Geiberger. "I played solid today. I missed a little birdie putt on the third hole and I got a little pissed off and made sure I made some the rest of the way."

This is reminiscent of 2004 as Geiberger came into that event needing a big paycheck to earn his PGA Tour card for the following year. He won that tournament and now, 144th on the money list, needs a strong finish in 2006 if he is to play the PGA Tour in 2007.

Rollins flew out of the gate on Thursday with a 12-foot birdie putt at the first. He parred the next two, but converted a 10-footer for birdie at the par-three fourth.

The second nine featured much of the same for Rollins, who finished 11th on this year's United States Ryder Cup team. He holed a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 11, then took advantage of par fives on the back nine. Rollins two-putted for birdies at both holes and walked to the par-three 17th tee at seven-under par.

He redeemed himself at the par-four closing hole. Rollins rolled in a 32-foot birdie putt to polish off his eight-under par and join Geiberger atop the leaderboard.

Watney tallied one more birdie on his first nine, a 50-footer at the 16th.

At the first, Watney sank a 15-foot birdie putt, but dropped a shot when he missed a five-foot par putt at the third. Watney recorded birdies at four, seven and nine to join the leaders.

Tim Clark, the top-ranked player in the field at No. 20, shot a five-under-par 67 and is tied for 10th place with defending champion K.J. Choi, Brian Gay, Jonathan Byrd, Chris Smith, Ryan Moore, Rob Whittaker, Robert Damron, Arjun Atwal, Kris Cox, John Engler and last week's playoff loser, Joe Durant.

For the first three rounds, players competed over three courses -- Kingsbarns, Carnoustie and the Old Course at St. Andrews. Sunday's final round will be staged at St. Andrews.

Dredge broke into red figures for the first time Saturday with a birdie at the par-five third. He parred his next five holes, but dropped a shot at the par- five ninth.
