Ames, Verplank share lead at Disney World

Golf Betting Lines

11/03/2007 - Lake Buena Vista, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen Ames posted a two-under 70 on Saturday to join Scott Verplank in the lead after three rounds of the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

Verplank carded a one-under 71 as he and Ames share the 54-hole lead at 13- under-par 203.

The big battle this week is for players to move into the top 125 on the money list to keep their tour cards for next year.

Tag Ridings is one of those battling for his tour card. He is well outside the top 125 and needs to win this week to keep his tour card. He posted a 71 in the third round and is now tied for third at minus-12.

Ridings was joined in third place by Mathew Goggin (69), Justin Leonard (70), Jeffrey Overton (69) and Tim Petrovic (68). Of those four, Overton is the only one near the bubble as he stands 117th on the money list.

After two days of playing with amateur partners and rotating over the Magnolia and Palm Courses at the Walt Disney World Resort, the field is playing the final two rounds on the Magnolia Course.

Saturday's third round had a volatile leaderboard with eight different players grabbing a piece of the lead during the round.

Ames and Verplank broke from that pack with their play on the back nine. Ames parred the first six holes before kicking in a two-footer for birdie at the seventh.

That birdie gave him a share of the lead with Brett Wetterich at minus-12. Wetterich pulled ahead thanks to an eagle on the 10th, but Ames got back within one as he two-putted for birdie on the par-five 10th.

Ames dropped in a five-foot birdie putt on 13 and followed with a nine-footer for birdie on 14 to grab a two-stroke lead as Wetterich began to struggle.

The 43-year-old Ames also stumbled down the stretch. He three-putted for bogey on the par-four 16th. At the last, he chipped to six feet but missed the par- saving putt to drop into a share of the lead with Verplank.

Verplank, who went 4-0 for the United States at the Presidents Cup in September, opened with a birdie on the par-four second. Back-to-back bogeys from the fifth dropped him to minus-11, one behind Wetterich and Ridings.

The Byron Nelson Championship winner got one stroke back with a birdie on the 10th. Verplank gave that stroke right back as he bogeyed 11. He bounced back with a birdie at the 12th to return to 12-under.

Verplank rolled in a birdie putt on the 15th to get to 13-under. At that point, he trailed by two but Ames' late bogeys erased that deficit. Verplank parred the last three to share the lead.

Heath Slocum posted a three-under 69 to move into eighth place at 11-under-par 205.

Wetterich, who led by one on the 11th tee thanks to an eagle on the 10th, played the final seven holes in plus-four to shoot even-par 72. That dropped him into a tie for ninth at minus-10.

He was joined there by Robert Gamez, J.P. Hayes, J.B. Holmes, Ryuji Imada, Steve Marino, Cameron Beckman, Rich Beem, D.J. Brigman, Stewart Cink and Tim Clark.

Holmes is currently 126th on the money list, but could bump Ted Purdy out of the top 125 on the money list. Holmes is exempt for next year thanks to his win at the 2006 FBR Open, but his finish will affect Purdy, who missed the cut, and others. Hayes is near the bubble as well as he stands 123rd on the money list.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
