Derksen holds tentative lead at suspended Mallorca Classic

Golf Betting Lines

10/27/2007 - Mallorca, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robert-Jan Derksen held a tentative one- shot lead when the third round of the Mallorca Classic was suspended Saturday night due to darkness.

Derksen, who shared the lead with Jean-Francois Lucquin when the second round was completed Saturday morning, stood at 10-under par through 15 holes of his third round.

Gregory Bourdy was in the clubhouse at nine-under 201 following a 64 at Pula Golf Club. He was one of the 53 players who was able to finish the third round.

Lucquin fell one shot off Derksen's pace and was at nine-under par through 15 holes.

Peter Lawrie and Sam Little were both on the course at eight-under, while Richard Finch (66) held the second-best score in the clubhouse at seven-under 203.

Alexander Noren (64) stood at six-under 204, and 2004 Mallorca Classic winner Sergio Garcia was five-under through 17 holes when play was stopped.

The man who beat Garcia last year, Niclas Fasth, tumbled from contention when he played a stretch of five holes in the middle of his round at seven-over par.

The defending champion made four bogeys and a triple-bogey on holes 9-13 and fell from a tie for sixth place after the second round into a tie for 53rd place at plus-three. Fasth was through 15 holes.

Derksen played the front nine at even-par, making a bogey at the third hole and a birdie at the seventh. He posted back-to-back birdies from the 10th, then made another bogey at the 12th.

He avoided a third bogey by getting up-and-down from the sand to save par at the 13th, then posted a pair of pars to remain in the lead.

Derksen is seeking his third European Tour win and first since 2005.

Lucquin, looking for his first victory, had two birdies and a bogey on the front nine. He made another bogey at the 12th, then a birdie at the 14th that gave him a share of the lead again with Derksen.

But Lucquin couldn't avoid a bogey at the 15th before the horn sounded.

Eighteen players were still on the course when the round was suspended. The tournament hasn't been able to get back on track after a long weather delay in the first round on Thursday.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
