Weekley Birdied Backs Open At Dimarco

Golf Betting Lines

Reigning U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (69) and 2001 British Open champion David Duval (70) are part of a group tied at minus-four.

The two first-round leaders are next on the leaderboard. Doug LaBelle shot 67 and is alone in fourth at minus-14, while 2000 U.S. Amateur champion Jeff Quinney posted a 68 and is alone in fifth at 13-under-par 131.

Around the turn, Weekley birdied the first at Highland Springs Country Club. He tripped to his first bogey of the event at the second to slip back to 11- under.

Weekley, who turns 33-years-old on Sunday, caught fire down the stretch. He birdied the par-four fifth and came right back with a birdie on six. Weekley was not done.

"I've just been focused on hitting the fairways," Weekley stated. "I'm hitting it solid, but there are a couple of shots I haven't mastered yet in my swing of thoughts. Basically out here it is going to be a putting contest. I hit a lot of good putts today."

Barnes collected just one birdie over his first four holes, and that came on the par-five 11th. He birdied three straight from the 14th to get to 11-under.

After three pars in a row around the turn, Barnes carded four more birdies on the front nine to gain his share of second place.

Athens Regional Foundation Classic winner Paul Gow shot 66 Friday. He leads a group of eight players at 11-under-par 133.

The cut line fell at six-under-par 138 with 67 players moving on to the final two rounds. This is the sixth time in tour history a cut was minus-six. There were two events -- 1991 Dakota Dunes Open and 2004 Henrico County Open -- that had a cut at seven-under par for the lowest cut in tour history.

Sergio Garcia fired a seven-under 65 Saturday to climb to 12-under-par 204 and a share of second place. He was joined there Chris DiMarco, who posted a three-under 69, and Ernie Els, who also birdied the 18th to shoot 71.

Garcia's 65 matched the course record. DiMarco established the new record on Friday, while Woods and Els matched it later in the second round.

Springfield, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Overnight leader Boo Weekley posted a four- under 68 on Saturday to hold on to his piece of the lead after three rounds of the Price Cutter Charity Championship. Former U.S. Amateur Champion Jeff Quinney carded a seven-under 65 and Australian Nick Flanagan fired an eight-under 64 to join Weekley in the lead at 20-under-par 196 at Highland Springs Country Club.

Ken Duke held the lead by himself at 21-under thanks to six birdies through 11 holes, but bogeys at 13 and 18 dropped him down the leaderboard. He shot a four-under 68 and is tied for fourth place with Doug LaBelle II, who carded a 67 on Saturday, at minus-19.
