Gainey gets second win on Nationwide Tour

Golf Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - Maineville, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tommy Gainey posted a three-under 69 on Sunday, but it was more than enough to cruise to victory at the Chiquita Classic.

Gainey finished at 27-under 261 and won by three strokes at the TPC River's Bend.

The victory was Gainey's second this year, following his breakthrough win at the Melwood Prince George's County Open. The $99,000 first-place check moved Gainey to first on the Nationwide Tour money list.

"I'm real happy. I'm proud of myself," Gainey said to The Golf Channel after the round.

Joe Affrunti fired a seven-under 65 on Sunday to take second place at 24-under 264. Geoffrey Sisk (66) and Colt Knost (70) shared third at minus-22.

Gainey took a four-shot lead into Sunday's final round and promptly bogeyed his first hole. He parred the next four and collected his first birdie of the round at the par-five sixth.

That birdie at six started a great run for Gainey. He rolled in a four-footer for birdie at seven and polished off his third birdie in a row with a two-putt effort at the par-five eighth.

Gainey dropped a shot at nine, but atoned for the error with a 22-foot birdie putt at the 10th. He kicked in a short birdie putt at the par-five 11th and was four clear of the field.

Trouble loomed for Gainey. He bogeyed the par-three 12th, then missed a two- foot par save at the 13th. His lead shrunk to two and he appeared to be in trouble at the 14th when his approach landed in a greenside bunker. Gainey holed out from the bunker to save an unlikely birdie and move three ahead with four to go.

At the 15th, Gainey sank a gutsy nine-foot par save to keep his cushion. Affrunti birdied the 17th, but Gainey made a routine birdie at the par-five closing hole to become the tour's first two-time winner this year.

"It's really satisfying because of the way I hit the ball today," admitted Gainey. "I've seen every bit of this golf course. I hit it all over the map today. It's very reassuring that I came out on top today."

Chris Nallen (65), Scott Stallings (67), Peter Tomasulo (68) and Chris Kirk (68) shared fifth at minus-21. Chris Kamin had a six-under 66 on Sunday and took ninth at 20-under 268.

NOTES: This was the first year of the event...Gainey, known as "Two Gloves" because he wears gloves on both hands, was a participant on The Golf Channel's "Big Break" program...Next week, the Nationwide Tour stays in Ohio for the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational at The OSU Golf Club. Derek Lamely won the title last year.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.

Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend.  Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
