Donald leads by one in England

Golf Betting Lines

05/21/2010 - Surrey, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Luke Donald posted his second straight three-under 68 Friday to grab a one-stroke lead after two rounds of the BMW PGA Championship.

Donald, who shared third place at this event in 2006, completed 36 holes at six-under-par 136.

First-round leader Danny Willet struggled to a one-over 72 to slip into a share of second place at minus-five. He stands alongside James Kingston (69) and last year's runner-up Ross Fisher (70).

Defending champion Paul Casey (68) and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington (67) headline a group of four players tied for fifth at four-under- par 138.

Donald opened his round with three straight pars. He moved to four-under with a birdie on the par-five fourth, then made it two in a row as he birdied the par-three fifth.

The Englishman got to six-under with a birdie on No. 8 on Wentworth's West Course.

Around the turn, Donald tripped to a bogey on the 12th, his first of the tournament. He parred the next four holes before making birdie on the par-five 17th for the second straight day. That gave him the lead at minus-six and he parred the last to remain there.

"You have to plot your way around a little bit more now," Donald said of the recent renovations. "On 17 and 18, you could step up there on the second shot and give it a whack and usually make a couple of fours. Now it is very hard to hit it on the green on 17, and 18 is a very difficult second shot if you go for it."

Willett flew out of the gate with three birdies in the first four holes to jump to nine-under. However, he stumbled to bogeys on five and seven.

The 22-year-old fought back with a birdie on the eighth, but that was his final birdie of the day. Willett faltered to bogeys on 11 and 12, then dropped back to minus-five with a bogey on the 16th.

"I got off to a really quick start. I put a bit of space between me and the lads behind, but a few pitfalls, and the wind swirled around," Willett said. "I hit it all right, but just didn't quite hole the putts we did yesterday."

Kingston was even-par for his round through six holes as he bogeyed the first and birdied the fourth. He converted back-to-back birdies from the seventh to get to five-under. On the back nine, Kingston notched seven pars to go with a bogey on 15 and a birdie on 17.

Fisher had a birdie on the fourth and a bogey on No. 6. He ran off eight straight pars before dropping another stroke on the 15th. Fisher birdied two of the last three holes to grab a share of second.

"There are a lot of guys in contention," said Fisher. "I'm right up there, one behind at the moment. I'm pretty pleased with the first two days, and hopefully I can have two more good days."

Casey and Harrington were joined in fifth place at minus-four by Chris Wood (68) and Fredrik Andersson Hed (70).

Ernie Els, who owns a house on the course and who recently re-deigned the West Course, managed a one-under 70 and is tied for ninth at three-under-par 139. He was joined by Ricardo Gonzalez and Marcel Siem, who both shot 70 on Friday.

NOTES: The cut line fell at three-over-par 145 with 78 players moving on to the weekend...Among those missing the cut were Martin Kaymer, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Ian Poulter and Alvaro Quiros.

Problem with Bears?

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.

"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
