Bowditch, Thompson share lead in Nebraska
Golf Betting Lines
07/29/2010 -
Omaha, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Steven Bowditch and Kyle Thompson fired rounds of
eight-under 63 Thursday to share the lead after one round of the Cox Classic.
Bowditch claimed his lone tour win in his homeland of Australia at the 2005
Jacob's Creek Open, while Thompson won twice during the 2007 season.
Scott Gardiner, Kevin Chappell and Matt Marshall share third place at minus-
seven.
Chris Kirk, who stands third on the Nationwide Tour money list, opened with a
six-under 65 and is tied for sixth at Champions Run.
Bowditch parred his first five holes, then birdied the sixth. He gave that
stroke right back with a bogey on the seventh. Bowditch caught fire from
there.
The Australian birdied the eighth and ninth to turn in two-under. After a
birdie on the 11th, Bowditch reeled off back-to-back birdies from the 13th to
move to five-under.
Bowditch birdied the 16th and followed with birdies on 17 and 18 to be the
first in the clubhouse at minus-eight and to match his career-low round on the
Nationwide Tour.
"To be honest, I played the best I've played in the last four or five years
last week, I just couldn't get the putts in," said Bowditch, who tied for 17th
last week at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational. "It wasn't so
much about making the putts, but I was missing the momentum putts as well."
Thompson started on the back nine Friday and opened with a birdie on the par-
five 10th. He parred his next five holes before posting birdies on the 16th
and 17th.
After four consecutive pars around the turn, Thompson poured in four straight
birdie efforts from the fourth to move within one of Bowditch's lead. Thompson
grabbed a share of the lead with a birdie on the par-four ninth, his last.
"I never thought this course was that easy and every year guys are shooting
59s and 60s and here I am shooting two- or three-under and feeling like I
played okay," stated Bowditch, who missed the cut in five of his first six
starts this year.
"It's just fun again. I've struggled on this course in the past, so to play
like this today was a lot of fun."
Kirk was joined in sixth at minus-six by Brandt Jobe, Hunter Haas, Ewan
Porter, Aaron Watkins, Berry Henson, Ray Beaufils and amateur Morgan Hoffmann,
who tied for ninth last week.
NOTES: Bowditch last fired a 63 in the final round of the 2005 New Zealand PGA
Championship...Last week's winner, D.J. Brigman, struggled to a one-over 72
that left him tied for 121st...Also at plus-one is leading money winner Jamie
Lovemark.
