Green downs Remesy in playoff to win at FontanaGolf Betting Lines06/10/2007 - Vienna, Austria (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard Green bogeyed the final hole of the BA-CA Golf Open on Sunday to slip back to 16-under-par 268 and create a playoff with Jean-Francois Remesy, which he won. Green closed with a one-under 70 Sunday, while Remesy fired a seven-under 64 to force the extra session. Remesy never had a piece of the lead until Green's bogey at the last. In the playoff, the two returned to the par-five 18th at Fontana Golf Club where Green walked off with his first win since the 1997 Dubai Desert Classic. "I've had that self-doubt in me for quite a long time," Green stated. "I've got myself into position and played three rounds great, but not four, so to get across the line is a huge relief. I was probably as nervous as I've ever been on the 18th green and I think that showed with the three putts. I was fortunate that I got into a playoff and still had a chance." Chris Gane closed with a six-under 65 to end in a tie for third at 15-under- par 269. He was joined there by Michael Jonzon (66) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (67). Stephen Gallacher took sixth at minus-14 thanks to a closing 65. Green was in trouble early. He found the rough off the tee at the par-four third, then three-putted his way to a double-bogey. That dropped him to 13- under, one clear of the field. Jimenez responded with a hole-out eagle at the fifth to jump into the lead at 14-under. Green atoned for his mistake with back-to-back birdies from the fifth. Shortly thereafter, the horns blew and everyone was taken off the course with lightning in the area. The weather delay lasted over two hours, even though it never rained at Fontana. After the delay, Jimenez bogeyed the eighth, but birdied the par-five ninth. Green also birdied No. 9 to take a two-stroke lead to the back nine. The Australian parred three in a row before a birdie on the 14th. As Green parred his next four holes, Remesy moved within one of the lead. Remesy collected three birdies and a bogey on the front nine to make the turn at 11-under. The Frenchman ran off five birdies in a six-hole span from the 11th to jump to 16-under. Remesy was within one of the lead, but could only par the final two holes to finish there. "I was struggling towards the end because it's been a long time not being in that position," admitted Remesy, who missed 10 of 13 cuts before this event. "I did my best so I am pretty happy about what I've achieved after the last few months." Green stumbled to a three-putt bogey from 12 feet on the par-five closing hole to force the playoff. Graeme Storm and Steven Jeppesen shared seventh place at 13-under-par 271. Richard McEvoy, who entered the round three shots behind Green, struggled to a one-over 72. He was joined in ninth at minus-11 by Martin Erlandsson, David Higgins, Graeme McDowell and Tom Whitehouse.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday. Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine. El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year. MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle. New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele. Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
