Rain stops U.S. Women's Open
Golf Betting Lines
07/09/2010 - Oakmont, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Heavy rainfall and lightning in the area forced the suspension of Friday's second-round play at the U.S. Women's Open at Oakmont.
Sophie Gustafson birdied the first hole, her only hole on Friday, to move in front at even-par.
Cristie Kerr, the No. 1 player in the world and runaway winner of last month's LPGA Championship, shot an even-par 71 on Friday and moved into a tie for second at one-over 143.
First-round leader Brittany Lang carded a three-over 74 and joined Kerr in the clubhouse at plus-one. Wendy Ward, Shinobu Moromizato and Kristy McPherson are in the midst of round two at one-over, while Song-Hee Kim and Jeong Eun Lee are one-over and have yet to tee off.
Almost half of the field completed play before the horn blew at 2:30 p.m. (et). The rain stopped and it looked somewhat promising that play would resume, but around 4:00 p.m. officials made the decision that play would be suspended for the day.
The golfers will return to the tough Oakmont layout at 7:30 a.m. Saturday to finish the second round. The decision has been made to group the players in threesomes and send them off both the first and 10th tees in the final two rounds.
With a decent forecast for the weekend, play is expected to be completed Sunday evening.
Christina Kim carded her second straight one-over 72 on Friday and is in the clubhouse at two-over 144.
Paula Creamer and Angela Stanford headline a group on the course at two-over, while Michele Redman and amateur Lisa McCloskey are part of a large group at plus-two, but haven't started round two.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
