08/10/2008 - Bloomfield Hills Township, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ben Curtis, the 2003 British Open Champion, fired a two-under 68 Sunday morning to move into sole possession of the lead after the third round of the PGA Championship.
It took Curtis an extra day, but he finished 54 holes at two-under 208 at the South Course at Oakland Hills.
After sitting for almost five hours on Saturday before play was called, Curtis was one of eight players who had 36 holes on his docket for Sunday.
"It should be a lot of fun this afternoon," said Curtis. "I went to bed pretty early. It's gonna be a long day and you just have to stay patient."
The third round was completed well within the time period the PGA of America allotted to finish all play on Sunday. If there is bad weather Sunday, and there's a 40 percent chance in the forecast, the fourth Monday finish in the stroke-play era of the PGA Championship could be a reality.
Players are going off both the first and 10th tees in threesomes in the final round. The last threesome is scheduled to go out around 2:20 p.m. (et) and with a five-hour window of play, there is time allowed for a possible playoff.
Again, that is dependent on no weather stoppages on Sunday. The forecast calls for a chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon, with a 40 percent chance of rain all afternoon.
Second-round leader J.B. Holmes bogeyed the last hole to fall out of a tie for first. He managed an even-par 70 in round three and is tied for second place with Henrik Stenson, who birdied 18 for a one-under 69. The pair is knotted at minus-one.
Reigning two-time British Open champion Padraig Harrington flew into contention Sunday morning. He posted a third-round, four-under 66 to move into a tie for fourth with the man he beat in a playoff last year at the British Open, Sergio Garcia (69), and Charlie Wi (71). The trio is knotted at one-over 211.
Andres Romero matched the Oakland Hills course record Saturday with a five- under 65. He shares seventh with first-round co-leader Jeev Milkha Singh, who carded a third-round, even-par 70. That pair is in at plus-two.
Camilo Villegas (67), Steve Flesch (70), Aaron Baddeley (71) and 2001 PGA Champion David Toms (72) are tied for ninth place at three-over-par 213.
Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, never got going Sunday morning. He faced a seven-foot eagle putt on the sixth hole when he returned in the morning, but only made birdie.
Mickelson rattled off back-to-back bogeys at the 10th and 11th. He parred out and finished 54 holes in a tie for 13th at four-over 214, six off the lead.

After all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer.
Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise.
Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games.
So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver.
In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team.
For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC.
The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’.
The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback.
