Kim cruises to medalist honors

Golf Betting Lines

07/25/2007 - Lakewood, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kimberly Kim followed up her amazing 10-under 62 in round one with an even-par 72 on Tuesday, but it was enough to earn medalist honors at the U.S. Girls' Junior.

She finished the two rounds of stroke play at 10-under-par 134, which was two better than Ha Na Jang, who shot a five-under 67 on Tuesday.

Mina Harigae, who won this year's U.S. Women's Amateur PubLinks, posted a three-under 69 and is third at minus-seven. Kristen Park carded a two-under 70 and is fourth at six-under-par 138.

Kim, the reigning U.S. Women's Amateur champion, began on the 10th tee and birdied her first hole. She birdied the par-four 12th, but went on a run of poor golf.

She bogeyed 13 and 14, then double-bogeyed the par-three 15th. Kim atoned for the error with a birdie at 16 to make the turn at one-over par.

Kim played better on her second nine with a pair of pars in her first two holes. She then traded birdies and bogeys the rest of the way to shoot a 34, but still get medalist honors.

Alexis Thompson, who at the age of 12 was the youngest player to ever compete in the U.S. Women's Open, shot a four-under 68 on Tuesday. She is tied for fifth place with Evan Jensen (72), Sally Watson (71) and Jennifer Johnson (71) at minus-four.

Tzu-Chi Lin (69), Michelle Shin (71) and Sue Kim (69) shared ninth place at three-under-par 141.

Jenny Shin will not be successfully defending her title. She missed the match- play cut, which was seven-over-par 151, by two strokes.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
