Mallon named 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup team captain
Golf Betting Lines
01/26/2012 -
Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Meg Mallon was named captain of the 2013
United States Solheim Cup team on Thursday at the PGA Merchandise Show.
She will have the task of trying to win back the Cup after the Americans lost
a heartbreaker at Killeen Castle in Ireland in late September.
"It's an absolute honor to be selected as the 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup Team
Captain," said Mallon. "I've participated in The Solheim Cup on nine occasions
and each has been a proud moment for me, but to represent the United States as
team captain definitely caps off my career. I look forward to working hard on
getting the Cup back in U.S. hands."
Mallon, 48, played on eight American teams and amassed a 13-9-7 record. She
collected 16.5 points in her Solheim Cup career and served as one of Beth
Daniel's assistant captains in 2009.
An owner of 18 LPGA Tour victories, including four major championships, Mallon
essentially retired during the 2010 season. Her last win came in 2004, the
same year she fired a 65 on Sunday at the U.S. Women's Open, the lowest
closing round in tournament history, to come from behind and win.
Mallon and Juli Inkster were the heavy favorites to be named to the post.
Inkster played in her ninth Solheim Cup last year and is the leading point
earner for the American side with 18.5. Mallon's 16.5 ranks second.
Inkster, 51, was a playing assistant for Rosie Jones at Killeen Castle and
went 0-2-1. She halved her singles match against Laura Davies on Sunday and
has 31 LPGA Tour victories with seven majors.
Mallon's U.S. team will try to reclaim the Solheim Cup at Colorado Golf Club.
Europe has not named its captain for that competition.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
