Calgary, AB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hugo Leon only managed an even-par 71 in Sunday's final round, but it was enough to earn the victory at the ATB Financial Classic. Leon finished at 13-under 271 and won by a stroke at Bearspaw Country Club. This was Leon's first victory on the Canadian Tour.

 

Leon broke into red figures with a birdie at the fourth, but that was only enough to move one ahead. Rodriguez birdied one and eagled the par-four fourth to reach 13-under par.

 

Leon clawed back. After the hiccup at six, Leon rattled off back-to-back birdies at eight and nine to make the turn in the lead at 15-under par.

 

Things tightened thanks to some Leon mistakes and good play from his closest competitors. Leon bogeyed the par-three 12th and Risdon birdied the same hole. Rodriguez birdied the par-five 13th and the cushion was down to two.

 

Leon made things interesting down the stretch. He bogeyed the 17th hole to take a one-shot lead over Rodriguez to the final hole. Leon stiffed his approach to six feet, but, only needing a two-putt, did just that for the win.

 

Alex Coe and Brad Fritsch both shot even-par 71s and shared fifth at 10-under 274. Benjamin Alvarado shot a two-under 69 and finished seventh at minus- eight.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Kaymer returned to third in this week's world rankings, despite a disappointing fourth-place finish at the Open de France. Kaymer supplanted U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy after just one week in third place.

 

Luke Donald and Lee Westwood remained in first and second, followed by Kaymer and McIlroy. Steve Stricker kept the fifth spot, followed by Phil Mickelson.

 

Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and Dustin Johnson both sank one to 11th and 12th. Paul Casey stayed at No. 13, but K.J. Choi, who was second to Watney at Aronimink, vaulted up two to 14th. Bubba Watson dipped three to 15.

 

Ian Poulter fell two to 16th and Tiger Woods held on to No. 17. Adam Scott joined the top 20 thanks to a tie for third at the AT&T National. Robert Karlsson and Hunter Mahan both sank one to round out the top 20.

 

Stricker, the top-ranked player in this week's field at No. 5, posted a two- shot victory in 2010 and a three-shot win in 2009 to become the second back- to-back winner and first since David Frost did it in 1992-93. He's also tasted some recent success, winning the Memorial at the beginning of June.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
