Branshaw takes first in Omaha

Golf Betting Lines

08/02/2008 - Omaha, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Branshaw fired his third straight seven- under 64 on Saturday to take the third-round lead of the Cox Classic, and in the process, match the 54-hole tournament record.

Branshaw's three-round total of 21-under 192 tied Chris Smith's 1997 tournament record at Champions Run. Smith parlayed the record into victory 11 years ago and Branshaw hopes to hoist his third trophy on the Nationwide Tour Sunday.

Vance Veazey posted a six-under 65 on Saturday and is alone in second place at 18-under 195.

Overnight-leader Ryan Hietala only managed a one-under 70 in the third round and is third at minus-17.

Branshaw did not get off to the kind of start one thinks of in a leader. He bogeyed the second hole, but that would be the only hiccup of the round for Branshaw.

He rattled off back-to-back birdies from the fourth, then birdied nine to make the turn at 16-under par for the championship.

Branshaw started his second nine with an eagle at the par-five 10th. He parred his next two and when Hietala bogeyed the par-three 12th, he and Branshaw were tied for the lead.

That tie did not last long. Branshaw rattled off back-to-back birdies from the 13th and Hietala double-bogeyed 15 to fall four back. Veazey bogeyed 14 as well to fall three back.

Veazey got to within two thanks to a birdie at 17, but both Branshaw and Hietala birdied 17 and parred to give Branshaw his three-shot lead with one round to go.

Two-time winner this year Colt Knost (67) and Garth Mulroy (70) share fourth place at 14-under 199. Last week's winner in Ohio, Bill Lunde (68) is alone in sixth at minus-13.

Gary Christian (65), Greg Owen (66), Alex Prugh (71) and first-round leader D.A. Points (70) are tied for seventh place at 12-under-par 201.

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.
