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.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
