Piercy earns first win in Wichita

Golf Betting Lines

08/10/2008 - Wichita, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Piercy managed just an even-par 71 in the final round Sunday, but it was enough for a two-stroke win at the Wichita Open.

Piercy and five other players completed their third rounds earlier in the day after play was called Saturday due to inclement weather.

The 29-year-old Piercy completed his first Nationwide Tour win at 22-under-par 262. That score was a new tournament record total bettering the 263 Ben Crane posted in 2000.

"It could be worth more than that," said Piercy, of the $2 million he won in the Ultimate Game last year. "Getting my tour card is worth a lot more than $2 million. Hopefully, I'm on my way."

Spencer Levin birdied the 18th hole to post a four-under 67. He was joined in second place by Hunter Haas (70) and Daniel Summerhays (67).

Piercy, Haas, Summerhays, Chris Anderson, Levin and Aaron Watkins were the six players that completed the third round on Sunday morning.

Piercy returned to the course later Sunday morning and struggled through the front nine. He opened with a bogey on the first, then parred the next five holes.

He stumbled to another bogey on the par-four seventh to slip to 20-under. However, no one was challenging his lead.

Piercy recovered one stroke with a birdie on the par-five 14th. He parred the next two, while Haas and Summerhays both made late runs to get within one of the lead.

At the par-three 17th, Piercy rolled home a 20-foot birdie putt to move back to 22-under. With a two-shot lead on the 18th, Piercy calmly made par to secure the win.

Summerhays, who won the Children's Hospital Invitational last year as an amateur, parred the first 10 holes. He birdied the 11th, then ran off three birdies in a four-hole span from the 14th to jump to 20-under.

However, he could only par the last to share second.

"Maybe I don't know how to play the front side properly," joked Summerhays.

Haas, who was in the last group with Piercy, posted seven pars and two bogeys on the front nine. He fought back into the mix with birdies on 14 and 17. He also birdied the last to finish at 20-under.

Levin, who was the other player in the final group, was even-par through nine holes with a birdie, a bogey and seven pars. He drained back-to-back birdies from the 10th to move to 18-under.

The 24-year-old continued his climb up the leaderboard with a birdie on the par-five 14th. He birdied 17 from 45 feet out to get within one of Piercy, but Piercy matched that birdie, then Levin could only par the last to end two back.

"Spencer made that putt -- a bomb -- it was a huge putt for him," said Piercy. "For me to make it on top of him, it takes all the wind from his sails. To make that at that time, you can't ask for anything more."

Brendon De Jonge took fifth place at 18-under-par 266 after a final-round, three-under 68. Chris Anderson was one stroke back at minus-17 after a final-round 70.

Bob May, Brian Smock, Fabian Gomez and Won Joon Lee shared seventh place at 16-under-par 268.

The NFL preseason is approaching. Time for players, coaches and teams to turn over a new leaf. General managers have hired some new coaches, while coaches have added some offensive and defensive assistants to try and improve things. Here’s a look at some changes to look for in the preseason.

New York Jets: The Jets were one of the surprise teams in the NFL last season, making the playoffs under hard-driving first-year coach Eric Mangini. Mangini rebuilt the offensive line with rookies D'Brickashaw Ferguson (the No. 4 pick in the 2007 Draft) and Ohio State center (the 29th pick in the first round). This season he upgraded the defense with rookie linebacker David Harris (Michigan) while the secondary picked up a much needed top-notch corner in Pitt CB Darrelle Revis (No. 14 overall).

The Jets have added balance to the offense for QB Chad Pennington with RB Thomas Jones, essentially stolen from the Bears. He will upgrade a New York ground game that was 20th in rushing with a weak 3.5 yards per carry. They have their first true feature back since Curtis Martin. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer prefers ball control, like his father Marty. In preseason, behind Pennington you’ll see second-year QB Kellen Clemens and mobile newcomer QB Marques Tuiasosopo.

Jacksonville Jaguars: The heat is on Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville as the Jaguars flopped last season despite a ton of talent. Keep in mind that under Del Rio the Jaguars have been outstanding in preseason with a 12-4 SU, 11-5 ATS August mark. online football betting Their defense is loaded, it’s the offense that has been stuck in first gear the last few years.

Enter a new offensive coordinator in Dirk Koetter, the former Boise State and Arizona State pass-happy coach. He will try and upgrade a passing game that ranked 24th last season. Del Rio has criticized wide receivers and Matt Jones this summer, both of whom have battled injuries. It will be interesting to watch the “new” Jaguars passing game in preseason.

Arizona Cardinals: Word out of Arizona is that the players like new coach Ken Whisenhunt, who was the Steelers offensive coordinator last year. We think of Arizona as all-passing because their running game has been awful of late because of a poor offensive line. However, keep an eye on the running game in preseason as they’ve made a lot of changes.

The new coach brings in Russ Grimm to coach the offensive line (Grimm did a marvelous job building the Steelers line). They took Penn State OT Levi Jones in the first round and signed two offensive linemen, Mike Gandy and Al Johnson, to provide depth. Reggie Wells was moved from right tackle to left guard and they want more speed out of the offensive line for pulling and traps, a Pittsburgh staple under Bill Cowher.

Atlanta Falcons: While all the attention has been focused on QB Mike Vick’s off-field problems, new coach Bobby Petrino is revamping the Falcons from an all-running team to a more balanced one. Petrino likes the experience of backup QB Joey Harrington and he has veteran backup Chris Redman, who used to play for Petrino at Louisville and knows his offenses better than anyone. Petrino wants Vick to be more of a pocket passer.

The addition of FB Ovie Mughelli is a sign Petrino wants a power rushing attack behind a physical fullback and newcomer WR Joe Horn should upgrade what was a below average wideout corps. Petrino is changing their old zone-blocking scheme to a more traditional in-line blocking scheme and the offensive line is bigger. Rookie DE Jamaal Anderson was grabbed in the first round and the secondary got younger with former Auburn cornerback David Irons, who the Falcons think was a steal as a sixth-round pick.

Cleveland Browns: The 2007 Browns look like a double-edged sword. There was the excitement of the offseason, trading for RB Jamel Lewis, upgrading the offensive line with Wisconsin’s Joe Thomas (the No. 2 pick in the draft) and free agent LG Eric Steinbach, then trading for Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn when he fell to No. 22. GM Phil Savage and head coach Romeo Crennel feel they have a talented, balanced offense with these new pieces, plus TE >Kellen Winslow and WR Braylon Edwards.

However, were these moves made in desperation? And were they foolish ones? The Browns gave up their 2008 first-round pick for Quinn and we all know QBs take time to develop. And even first-round QBs can be busts (Joey Harrington, Akili Smith). We also don’t know if the offensive line is that much improved (31st in rushing in 2007) and they did nothing to improve a defense that was awful against the run (142 yds pg allowed).

The Browns have a new offensive coordinator in Rob Chudzinski. This is a young offense and Quinn looked tentative, indecisive and inaccurate early in camp. Crennel will play Charlie Frye, Quinn and Derek Anderson in preseason. And there is a mixed bag for rookie QBs receiving significant starts: Tim Couch (14), Kerry Collins (13), Ben Roethlisberger (13), Vince Young (13), Joey Harrington (12), Matt Leinart (11) and Kyle Boller (nine). While all the focus will be on the Browns new-look offense, I’m more concerned with the defense.

Carolina Panthers: Coach Jon Fox loves the ground game, but Carolina has made some interesting changes for 2007. Fox fired offensive coordinator Dan Henning and brings in Jeff Davidson to run the offense. Davidson has brought in zone-blocking schemes to the Panther offense, a dramatic change for a system that's been built around a power-running style.

In zone-blocking, offensive linemen are responsible for blocking any defender who appears in their zone, instead of focusing on one defender. The Broncos and Falcons have had success with the system, which features smaller, more athletic offensive linemen and can create running lanes on the inside and outside. Keep an eye in preseason on how Carolina adjusts as it will take time to learn the system. Fox has been one of the top coaches in preseason, with a 15-5 SU, 12-7-1 ATS August record.

Dallas Cowboys: WR Terrell Owens is still here, but QB Drew Bledsoe and Bill Parcells are gone. New head coach Wade Phillips takes over, replacing Parcells. He ran the Chargers defense last season. Phillips was chosen by teary-eyed owner Jerry Jones partly because he is one of the best 3-4 coaches in football and the Cowboys have loaded up on players for that scheme.

Remember that Phillips was blitz-happy with the Chargers last season and early reports out of the Dallas camp have mentioned how the Cowboys have been blitzing a lot, a departure from Parcells. The theme of the 2007 Dallas defense appears to be one of attack.
