Golf Betting Lines

06/13/2007 - Far Hills, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The United States Golf Association announced that Pinehurst will host the 2014 U.S. Open championship

The revered North Carolina course has hosted eight USGA championships, including two Opens in 1999 and 2005.

"Pinehurst is proud to continue our championship legacy with the USGA," said Robert Dedman, Jr., CEO of Pinehurst. "One hundred years after No. 2 opened, it continues to be a test for all golfers. We look forward to hosting our national championship for the third time in 15 years, and continuing the partnership to make it the most outstanding U.S. Open in history."

The 2014 US Open will be played from June 12-15.

"The USGA is excited to return to North Carolina and the classic setting of Pinehurst, the site of two successful Opens in the past eight years," said Jim Hyler, chairman of the USGA championship committee. "The previous championships at Pinehurst No. 2 featured exceptional play and incredible support from the community, which truly embraced its role as host. The course provides a stern but fair test for our national championship and lends itself nicely to the scope of all operational aspects. We believe the 2014 Open at Pinehurst will be another great experience."

After this year's Open in Oakmont, PA, the event will be played at Torrey Pines Golf Club in San Diego, CA in 2008; at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in Farmingdale, NY in 2009; at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, CA in 2010; at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, MD in 2011; at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, CA in 2012; and at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, PA in 2013.

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."
