Poulter captures JBWere Masters

Golf Betting Lines

12/18/2011 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Englishman Ian Poulter carded a four- under-par 67 on Sunday and won the JBWere Masters title by three strokes over Marcus Fraser.

Poulter, who captured the Volvo World Match Play Championship this past season, ended at 15-under 269 for the four rounds at Victoria Golf Club.

Fraser had the best round of the day by firing a seven-under 64, but it was Poulter who had the best start and carried that over to capture the tournament.

Poulter had a great tee shot on the opening hole, a par-4. His shot came within 15 feet of the pin and Poulter eagled the hole. He birdied seven and nine. He also had a birdie on the par-3 16th before tripping to a bogey 6 on the 17th hole. He parred the last to secure the win.

"It's been a difficult year, but obviously the Aussie Masters champion is very special," Poulter said. "It was nice to add it (the tournament). I haven't been to Australia for a few years. I'm happy. I needed to play well this week."

Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion, ended at 11-under 273 and alone in third. He held a two-shot lead entering Sunday's final round.

Australians Adam Crawford and Peter Senior each finished in a tie for fourth at seven-under 277.

World No. 1 Luke Donald struggled to a one-over score on the final day. He tied for 12th at four-under 280.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook

Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds.  The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.

Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.

Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
