Van den Berg wins on Sunshine TourGolf Betting Lines07/30/2010 - Port Elizabeth, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ulrich van den Berg shot an even-par 72 on Friday, but it was enough to capture the Vodacom Business Origins of Golf event. Van den Berg finished at 14-under 202 and won by a stroke at Humewood Golf Club. Second-round leader Daniel Greene struggled to a four-over 76 on Friday and came in second place in his pursuit for a first victory on the Sunshine Tour. Greene held a two-shot lead on the 17th hole, but landed his third in a pot bunker and played out sideways. He gave himself 40 feet for par, but three- putted for a double-bogey. The two were tied for first, then van den Berg lipped out a three-foot par putt on the 18th hole. Greene pulled his drive at 18 and knocked his second into another pot bunker. He blasted out to 22 feet, but left his par putt four feet short. Greene had to make his four-footer for bogey to force a playoff, but he missed to the left giving van den Berg his first win on the circuit in almost three years. "It would have been nice to have seen that putt go in and I could have won it rather than Daniel lose it," van den Berg said of his putt on 18. "I feel a bit sad for Daniel because I have been in that situation before, and it really makes you feel empty. But I'm sure he will be in this position again, and he'll win." Doug McGuigan shot a four-under 68 and took third at minus-11. Dion Fourie (67), Alan Michell (69) and Jean Hugo (71) shared fourth at 10- under 206.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALKNFL Football Trash TalkTrash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing). Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion. Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site). Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com. Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season. The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation. What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill. Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies. But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply. In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton. |
