Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Michael Putnam carded a two-under 69 in windy
conditions Friday to grab a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the Nationwide
Children's Hospital Invitational.
Putnam, who is in search of his first Nationwide Tour title, completed 36
holes at six-under-par 136.
Scott Brown stumbled to a one-over 72, but remained in second place at minus-
five. He was joined there by Camilo Benedetti (70), Nick Flanagan (71) and
Alistair Presnell (69).
Russell Henley, one of the 10 amateurs in this week's field, carded a one-
under 70 in round two and is one of eight players tied for sixth at four-
under-par 138.
Putnam parred the first three holes before converting his first birdie chance
on the par-five fourth on the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University Golf
Club.
The 27-year-old moved to six-under with a birdie on the par-four seventh. He
stumbled to a bogey on the ninth to turn at minus-five.
Around the turn, Putnam ran off six consecutive pars from the 10th. He moved
back to six-under with a birdie on the 16th. Putnam parred the final two holes
to take the second-round lead.
"Anything under par is a good round today," admitted Putnam. "The wind is the
worst for golfers. It just blows the ball everywhere and it's tough conditions
to play in."
Brown started on the 10th and opened with a bogey. He faltered to a double-
bogey on 11, but got one stroke back with a birdie on 12. He bogeyed 15 before
a birdie on 17.
He headed to the front nine at three-over for his round and minus-three
overall after a bogey at the 18th. Brown birdied the first and third to get
back to five-under. After a bogey on six, he birdied No. 8 to share second.
Flanagan birdied two of the first three holes, but dropped shots on the sixth
and seventh. He parred the final 11 holes.
Presnell mixed four birdies and two bogeys in his round.
Benedetti tripped to a bogey at three, but birdied three of the next six holes
to turn at minus-six. On the back nine, he carded eight pars and a bogey to
share second place.
Henley shares sixth place with David Mathis (67), D.J. Brigman (72), Patrick
Sheehan (68), Aaron Watkins (67), Kyle Stanley (71), Bronson La'Cassie (69)
and Matthew Borchert (70).
First-round leader Jonathan Kaye followed his course-record 63 on Thursday
with a five-over 76 Friday. That dropped him into a share of 14th at minus-
three.
NOTES: Daniel Summerhays, who became the first amateur to win on the
Nationwide Tour when he captured the 2008 crown, is the only past champion in
the field this week. He shot 72 Friday and is tied with Kaye in 14th
place...Morgan Hoffmann was the only other amateur to make the cut, which fell
at one-over-par 143...Seventy-two players made the cut, but Kevin Chappell,
Bobby Gates and Martin Piller, who stand third, fifth and sixth on the
Nationwide Tour money list, failed to make it to the weekend.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams
NFL Betting
It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Wagering
