Grace tops stars for 2nd win in a row on European Tour
Golf Betting Lines
01/22/2012 -
George, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - South Africa's Branden Grace toppled
two of his home country's golfing icons, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, in a
playoff Sunday to win the Volvo Golf Champions, his second win in a row on the
European Tour.
Grace birdied the first playoff hole to best Els and Goosen. He earned his
first tour victory a week ago at the Joburg Open and that got him into this
exclusive event, reserved for European Tour players who won European Tour
events in the last year.
Sunday's win at The Links at Fancourt had to be extra special for Grace
considering he came through the Ernie Els and Fancourt Foundation. Perhaps
even more amazing than two wins in the three events on the 2012 European Tour
schedule, is that Grace came through tour Q School just last month.
Grace, a third-round co-leader, overcame a rocky start on Sunday that included
a double-bogey at three and a bogey at four. He tallied five birdies the rest
of the way for a two-under 71.
Els played the last 11 holes in five-under par and signed for a six-under 67
on Sunday. Goosen was alone in the lead until an errant drive at nine led to a
double-bogey and he dropped a shot at 12. He rebounded with an eagle, three
birdies, all in the last four holes, to shoot a three-under 70.
The trio finished regulation at 12-under 280 and headed back to the par-five
closing hole at Fancourt.
Grace and Goosen both found the short grass off the tee at 18, but Els pulled
his drive into the left rough. The Big Easy had to lay up with his second and
both Grace and Goosen landed in the front right portion of the green.
Els' third stopped 15 feet from the flagstick, giving him a decent chance at
birdie. Goosen stubbed his chip, while Grace lagged his eagle try close.
Goosen failed to make birdie, and with Grace in close, the pressure belonged
to Els.
His birdie putt stayed above ground and Grace tapped in for birdie and his
second win in as many weeks and a healthy, albeit early, lead in the Race to
Dubai.
"I'm really ecstatic," said Grace. "It's a dream come true to win such a big
event - pretty much the best tournament I've played in so far."
Third-round co-leader Nicolas Colsaerts bogeyed the last to fall out of a
possible playoff. He managed a one-under 72 and finished fourth at 11-under
par.
Masters champion Charl Schwartzel also had a 72 on Sunday and came in fifth at
minus-10.
European Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal enjoyed a nice showing this
week. The Hall of Famer shot an even-par 73 on Sunday and was sixth at eight-
under 284.
"At certain moments in the round it looked a little bit like the old days,"
said Olazabal.
NOTES: This event was reserved not just for winners on last year's schedule,
but also current tour members under the age of 50 with more than 10 victories
are also invited...That is how Goosen and Olazabal got into the field...Next
week is the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship in the United Arab Emirates,
where Martin Kaymer has won the last two years...Luke Donald, Lee Westwood,
Rory McIlroy, Kaymer and Tiger Woods are expected to make their season debuts.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
