Fergus wins weather-shortened Regions Charity Classic

Golf Betting Lines

05/17/2009 - Hoover, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Keith Fergus polished off his second six-under 66 on Sunday to win the weather-shortened Regions Charity Classic.

Two long delays on Saturday sent the tournament back and the plan was to finish the second round Sunday morning and get back out to the Robert Trent Jones Trail at Ross Bridge to play the final round in the same groups.

Mother Nature didn't cooperate.

More storms came in Sunday and the second round wasn't completed before play was stopped. Some golfers already began the final round, but tournament officials decided to trim the tournament to 36 holes.

It marked the first time in almost three years that a Champions Tour event was shortened for weather.

For Fergus, this marked his second win of the season on the elder circuit. He took home the trophy at The Cap Cana Championship and this was his third win on tour.

Gene Jones, who shared first with Fergus when play was halted Saturday night, also managed a six-under 66 and took second place at minus-nine. Joe Ozaki posted a five-under 67 for third place at eight-under 136.

Jay Don Blake (67), Brad Bryant (65), Tom Jenkins (69), Loren Roberts (69), Tom McKnight (70), Jim Thorpe (70) and Larry Mize (71) tied for fourth place at minus-seven.

First-round leader Dan Forsman only mustered a one-over 73 and finished in a group tied for 11th at six-under 138. Hal Sutton shot a 72 and was part of the logjam six behind Fergus.

Last year's winner Andy Bean tied for 24th at minus-four.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
