Chad Collins leads in Puerto Rico

Golf Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chad Collins found himself alone in the lead during the suspended second round of the Puerto Rico Open.

Collins is six-under par through 11 holes of his second round and is in first place at nine-under par at Trump International Golf Club.

The second round was suspended due to darkness as this tournament tries to catch up from two days of disastrous weather.

Half of the field has yet to tee off in round two, so he second round will continue on Sunday, then the 36-hole cut will be made and the third round will commence. The plan is for the completion of the third round on Monday, then the final round in order to get in 72 holes.

The problem with that scenario is that there is more bad weather forecast for Monday and one has to wonder how much more Trump International Golf Club can take.

A total of 6.6 inches of rain fell on the course on Thursday. Six-tenths of an inch of rain hit Trump International on Friday and in the last week, there has been over a foot of rain.

Paul Stankowski shot a two-under 70 in the second round and is in the clubhouse at eight-under 136. Jeff Overton is two-under through 14 holes and Jhonattan Vegas is five-under after 13, but both are also at eight-under for the tournament.

Collins, who finished second on the Nationwide Tour money list last year, began on the 10th tee Saturday and flew out of the gate with birdies at 10 and 12.

He birdied three of his last four holes on his opening nine to reach eight- under par for the championship.

A bogey at the first hole dropped him out of the lead, but an eagle at the par-five second gave him first all to himself.

Nicholas Thompson and James Nitties are both three-under on their second rounds and seven-under for the tournament. They are joined in a tie for fifth with Skip Kendall and Kris Blanks, who shared the first-round lead at 65, but won't play round two until Sunday.

"Probably one of the longest rounds I've ever played," joked Kendall, considering his first round took three days to complete.

Guy Boros (67) and former PGA Champion Steve Elkington (70) are knotted in ninth at place at six-under 138. Woody Austin, Kent Jones and Peter Gustafsson are six-under on the course.

NOTES: Dicky Pride, David Peoples, Brett Quigley and Craig Bowden all withdrew...The first and second rounds are being played with preferred lies in closely mown areas...Only six players completed round two before the horn sounded.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
