Golf Betting Lines

02/05/2012 - Yangon, Myanmar (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australia's Kieran Pratt birdied the second playoff hole Sunday to earn his first Asian Tour title at the Myanmar Open.

Pratt bested Adam Blyth and Kiradech Aphibarnrat in the extra session at The Royal Mingalardon Golf & Country Club.

Pratt eagled the par-five 18th in regulation to polish off a four-under 68. Blyth fired a 65, while Aphibarnrat managed an even-par 72. The trio finished regulation at 15-under 273 and was back to the closing hole for sudden-death.

Aphibarnrat was eliminated on the first playoff hole when he couldn't make birdie. Pratt sank a 15-footer for birdie, while Blyth made a six-footer and the two were back to the par-five 18th.

Blyth drove into the water at the second extra hole. Pratt came up short of the green with his second and pitched his third to four feet. Blyth did well to save par, but it wasn't enough.

Pratt holed his birdie putt for the win.

Third-round leader Scott Hend struggled to a two-over 74 and shared fourth place with Arnond Vongvanij, who shot a five-under 67 on Sunday. The pair finished at 14-under 274, one shot out of the playoff.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
