Stanley 5 clear at Torrey Pines

Golf Betting Lines

01/28/2012 - La Jolla, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kyle Stanley posted a four-under 68 on Saturday and opened a comfortable five-shot lead after the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open.

He finished 54 holes at 18-under 198 and matched the tournament's record. Woody Blackburn established the mark in 1985, then Tiger Woods tied it in 2008. Both players went on to victory the year they posted 198s and if Stanley can keep the tradition alive, he will earn his first PGA Tour victory.

After splitting time at the North Course and South Course at Torrey Pines over the first two rounds, weekend action is at the South Course and Stanley was by far the best.

He held a one-shot lead at the start of the third round, and thanks to precision iron play and deep drives, Stanley is in command. He hit 89 percent of the greens in regulation and now the second-year PGA Tour player is in position for his first win.

"I need to keep doing what I'm doing," Stanley said in a televised interview.

Tour rookie John Huh and John Rollins both had 68s on Saturday and share second place at 13-under 203.

Reigning FedExCup champion Bill Haas (70) and Sang-Moon Bae (72) are knotted in fourth at minus-12.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

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
