Another late rally for Europe keeps it close

Golf Betting Lines

09/15/2007 - Halmstad, Sweden (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 18th hole doomed the Americans.

Two European teams won the 18th hole to earn crucial halves in the first two matches of Saturday's foursomes matches at the Solheim Cup.

In the foursomes, each team won two points, but the U.S. leads the overall competition, 6 1/2 - 5 1/2.

Maria Hjorth and Gwladys Nocera overcame a 2-down deficit with three to play to earn a halve against Sherri Steinhauer and Laura Diaz.

Sophie Gustafson rolled in an eight-foot birdie putt at the last to claw out a halve for herself and Suzann Pettersen against the U.S. pair of Juli Inkster and Paula Creamer.

"We're still leading," noted Inkster. "We have to play a good best-ball this afternoon."

In the anchor match, the U.S. side of Cristie Kerr and Nicole Castrale threw a furious comeback at the duo of Annika Sorenstam and Catriona Matthew, but came up just short.

The Europeans had a 5-up lead with six to play, but Kerr and Castrale took it to the final hole.

With the U.S. 1-down, Kerr hit her approach to 15 feet at the 18th. The European side came up short with its second, but Sorenstam lagged up to three feet.

Castrale missed the birdie putt, then Matthew converted to give the team the 1-up victory.

Pat Hurst and Angela Stanford notched the Americans a full point with a 4 & 2 win over Iben Tinning and Bettina Hauert, who saw her first action in a Solheim Cup.

The start of the foursomes was delayed over two hours due to heavy winds. The gusts, measured at 40 mph, knocked over tents, fences and trees, and stayed up throughout the session.

With the delay, and the slow pace of play due to the format, Saturday afternoon's fourballs matches will not be completed Saturday. They will need to be completed Sunday morning, followed by the 12 singles matches.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
