Bradley Beats Championship Into Chevron

Golf Betting Lines

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The 2011 season in professional golf could be known for a few different things. First, Tiger Woods won again.

 

Ever since Woods lost his No. 1 world ranking, no one really claimed it as his own. Lee Westwood test-drove it. Martin Kaymer hung on for a time, but Luke Donald made it his own.

 

The team international events were excellent, as always.

 

With some of the stars of the game on the downswing of their careers, new blood stepped up and performed.

 

All of 22 years old, Yani Tseng continued an old tradition on the LPGA Tour -- dominance.

 

First, it was Annika Sorenstam in the early '00s. Then, Lorena Ochoa owned women's golf until her retirement.

 

When she successfully defended her title at the Women's British Open, the same record applied -- youngest to five majors.

 

Tseng almost had a third major of 2011, but finished as the runner-up to Stacy Lewis at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Tseng squandered that title in the season's first major and didn't do that again.

 

She made 21 cuts in 22 events, finishing in the top five in 12 of them and the top 10 in two more.

 

Tseng is the No. 1 player in the Rolex Rankings and the No. 1 golfer in the world for 2011.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
