Golf Betting Lines

07/11/2010 - Monthieux, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Austria's Bernd Wiesberger fired a course-record, nine-under 62 on Sunday to come from behind and win the Allianz Golf Open de Lyon on the European Challenge Tour.

Wiesberger finished at 17-under 267 and won by two strokes at Golf du Gouverneur.

"It's just unreal -- to shoot 62 on the last day to win the tournament is unbelievable," said Wiesberger, who picked up his first win on the circuit. "You don't get many days where everything goes right, but today was definitely one of those days."

Joel Sjoholm shot a six-under 65 and came in second at 15-under 269.

Third-round co-leader Thorbjorn Olesen (67), Fredrik Henge (64) and Adam Gee (66) shared third place at minus-14.

Wiesberger secured the victory with "the best two iron shots of my career." At the par-five 15th, the Austrian hit a six-iron to three feet to set up an eagle. He followed that with a seven-iron to two feet for a birdie at 16.

"The 15th and 16th holes were where I won the tournament -- to hit those two shots at that time was pretty special," acknowledged Wiesberger. "After that I knew that if I kept calm and played steady golf for the last two holes, the trophy would be mine."

Wiesberger moved up to fourth on the money list.

Charlie Ford and Paul Dwyer both posted rounds of four-under 67 on Sunday and tied for sixth at minus-13.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

"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
