Golf Betting Lines

07/23/2010 - Ada, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Thomas and Jim Liu both won twice on Friday to advance to Saturday's 36-hole final of the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.

Thomas, 17, earned a 2 & 1 victory over Scott Wolfes in Friday's quarterfinals, then needed one extra hole to get by Denny McCarthy in the afternoon's semifinals.

Liu pulled out a 1-up win over Gavin Hill Friday morning and toppled Robby Shelton, 3 & 2 in the semifinals.

Thomas fell 1-down to Wolfes with a loss at the fourth hole, but rebounded with wins at six and seven. Thomas' lead stayed at 1-up until he won the par- five 13th with an eagle.

Wolfes hung in and won the 15th with a birdie to go 1-down. He made bogey at the par-five 17th at Egypt Valley Country and that was enough to give Thomas a 2 & 1 victory.

Later Friday, Thomas never led over McCarthy until the first extra hole. He was 1-down after a bogey at nine and the score stayed at 1-down until Thomas won 15 with a par.

The match was all-square briefly. McCarthy took the par-three 16th with a par, but a Thomas par at 17 drew him even. The pair halved the 18th with birdie and were back to the first to find out who made the final.

Thomas only needed a par at No. 1 for the win and berth in Saturday's final.

Liu, 14, was ahead early in his quarterfinal, but losses at seven and 10 left his match against Hall all-square. Hall moved 1-up thanks to a par at the 14th, but Liu clawed back to even with a birdie at 16.

Liu made a birdie at the 17th to go 1-up and hung on with a par at the last to move on to the semifinals.

Against Shelton, Liu was 1-down after seven holes, but got to all-square after a birdie at the par-three eighth. Shelton captured the 10th and 11th holes to move 2-up on the back nine.

Liu never panicked and won 12 with a par and 13 with a birdie. Those two victories gave Liu some momentum. He won the next three holes with two birdies and a par to close out the match with five straight winning holes.
