07/10/2010 - Oakmont, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paula Creamer was one-under par through 13 holes of the third round Saturday when play was halted for the day at the U.S. Women's Open due to darkness.
Creamer was atop the leaderboard at minus-one and was three shots clear of Wendy Ward. Creamer, an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour, is in search of her first major championship title.
Ward is also minus-one for her round and stands at plus-two through 17 holes of the third round.
The championship was playing catch up all day after inclement weather halted action on Friday and forced the second round to be completed earlier Saturday.
Once the second round was completed, players went off the first and 10th tees in threesomes. More than half the field managed to complete round three before darkness fell at Oakmont Country Club.
Creamer and Sakura Yokomine shared the lead when the second round was completed earlier Saturday.
Suzann Pettersen is alone in third at plus-three. Fifteen-year-old Alexis Thompson is the leader in the clubhouse at four-over-par 217. She carded a one-under 70 in the third round.
Thompson was joined in fourth place by Amy Yang (15 holes) and Brittany Lang (14 holes).
Creamer started her third round with three straight pars and that allowed her to take a one-shot lead at even-par, as Yokomine fell apart early in the third round.
The 23-year-old Creamer birdied the par-five fourth to move one ahead of Lang, who had birdied the second and fourth to gain a share of the lead. After a pair of pars, Creamer tripped to a bogey on the seventh, but was two clear of Lang, who bogeyed three of four holes from the fifth.
Creamer got back to minus-one with a birdie on the par-four 10th. She moved to two-under with a birdie on the long par-five 12th, a hole which she had bogeyed the first two rounds.
At the par-three 13th, Creamer faltered to a bogey in the waning light and that was her last hole of the day.
Creamer hasn't won a major, but has won several of the LPGA Tour's bigger events. She claimed the 2005 Evian Masters, the Tournament of Champions in 2007 and the 2008 Samsung World Championship.
The win at the Samsung stands as Creamer's last LPGA Tour victory as she has battled a thumb injury through most of last year and the earlier part of this season as well.
In fact, this is just Creamer fifth start of the year and fourth since having surgery on her injured left thumb.
Natalie Gulbis and Jeong Jang, who are both through 17 holes, are tied for seventh place at plus-five. They stand alongside In-Kyung Kim (16 holes) and Christina Kim (14 holes).
Karrie Webb (73), Na Yeon Choi (72) and Jiyai Shin (72) are tied for 11th at six-over-par 219. Stacy Lewis, Sophie Gustafson, Cristie Kerr and Yokomine also stand at plus-six with holes remaining in their third rounds.
NOTES: The third round is slated to resume at 8:00 a.m. (et) Sunday with the final round to follow at approximately 10:20 a.m....Defending champion Eun-Hee Ji is tied for 34th at 12-over par...Ji is plus-two through 13 holes of the third round...Amateur Kelli Shean, who shared second place after the first round, has struggled ever since...Shean has tumbled into 64th place at plus-19 after shooting a 12-over 83 in round three.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com
In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.
