07/23/2010 - Village of Pinehurst, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Doris Chen and Katelyn Dambaugh won both of their matches on Friday to advance to the final of the U.S. Girls' Junior Championship.
Chen first knocked off stroke-play medalist Danielle Kang in Friday's quarterfinals, then toppled Gyeol Park, 4 & 3 in Friday afternoon's semifinal action.
Dambaugh had an easier time of it on Friday. She beat Stephanie Liu, 2 & 1 in the quarterfinals and crushed Ally McDonald, 7 & 6 in the afternoon's semifinals.
If Dambaugh were to emerge victorious in Saturday's 36-hole final, she would become the first female left-handed player to win a USGA championship. There were five left-handed male golfers to hoist a USGA trophy, but Dambaugh could be the first female.
Dambaugh fell 1-down in her match against Liu, but pulled ahead with wins at five and six. She stayed in front the rest of the match and even built a 2-up lead through 11 holes.
Liu cut her deficit to 1-down when Dambaugh double-bogeyed the 12th. Liu bogeyed the par-three 16th to go 2-down with two to play, then Dambaugh closed out the match at 17 when the pair both made pars.
"I didn't expect to get this far," Dambaugh admitted Friday after her quarterfinal win. "I was just hoping to make the cut."
When Dambaugh got to the semifinals against McDonald, she won the second hole and never looked back. She built a 5-up lead at the turn and extended to 6-up with a par at No. 10.
McDonald made a mess of the par-five 12th and that was enough for Dambaugh. She won the hole and that ended the route at 7 & 6.
Chen never trailed in her match against Kang. They halved the first five holes and Chen won the sixth with a par. She got to 2-up at eight, but Kang won nine to get back to 1-down.
Chen birdied the par-three 13th and was once again 2-up. The match stayed at 2-up until Kang took the 16th with a par. The two halved the 17th with birdies, then halved 18 with pars to allow Chen to advance.
"I didn't play well the first two rounds," Chen said after her quarterfinal win. "I wasn't hitting the ball as well in the practice rounds. Since the third round, I am hitting more back to normal. I know where I cannot hit it. I am just improving every day."
In the semifinals, Chen jumped out early against Park with a win at the third. Chen's advantage was 3-up at the turn and after a par at No. 10, she was 4-up.
Chen stayed 4-up over the next five holes and that was enough to move her into the final.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
