Stanley 5 clear at Torrey Pines

Golf Betting Lines

01/28/2012 - La Jolla, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Stanley posted a four-under 68 on Saturday and opened a comfortable five-shot lead after the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open.

He finished 54 holes at 18-under 198 and matched the tournament's record. Woody Blackburn established the mark in 1985, then Tiger Woods tied it in 2008. Both players went on to victory the year they posted 198s and if Stanley can keep the tradition alive, he will earn his first PGA Tour victory.

After splitting time at the North Course and South Course at Torrey Pines over the first two rounds, weekend action is at the South Course and Stanley was by far the best.

He held a one-shot lead at the start of the third round, and thanks to precision iron play and deep drives, Stanley is in command. He hit 89 percent of the greens in regulation and now the second-year PGA Tour player is in position for his first win.

"I need to keep doing what I'm doing," Stanley said in a televised interview.

Tour rookie John Huh and John Rollins both had 68s on Saturday and share second place at 13-under 203.

Reigning FedExCup champion Bill Haas (70) and Sang-Moon Bae (72) are knotted in fourth at minus-12.

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.
