Jimenez holds off Molinari to win European Masters

Golf Betting Lines

09/05/2010 - Crans Montana, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After nearly coughing up a six- stroke lead, Miguel Angel Jimenez birdied the 17th hole Sunday to fend off Ryder Cup teammate Edoardo Molinari and win the European Masters.

Jimenez closed with a four-under 67 to finish off his third win of the season at 21-under-par 263.

The Spaniard earned his 18th European Tour victory, but first in 22 appearances at this tournament.

Molinari was down by six strokes on the back nine, but birdied 12 and 14, then made eagle on the 15th at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club to get within one.

He made bogey on 16 and ended three back after Jimenez's birdie on 17. Molinari also shot four-under 67 to take second at minus-18.

Matteo Manassero, who this week became the youngest player to make the cut in a European Tour event, carded a three-under 68 to take third at 16-under 268.

Jimenez's victory makes it five straight wins for European Ryder Cup team members, and six in a row for Ryder Cup players if you include American Hunter Mahan's win at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

The winners in order were Ross Fisher (3 Irish Open), Mahan, Martin Kaymer (PGA Championship), Peter Hanson (Czech Open), Molinari (Johnnie Walker Championship) and Jimenez.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
