Golf Betting Lines

06/09/2007 - West Des Moines, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jay Haas, the reigning Champions Tour Player of the Year, fired a six-under-par 65 on Friday to take the first-round lead of the Principal Charity Classic.

Dave Eichelberger posted a five-under-par 66 and is alone in second place at Glen Oaks Country Club.

Two former champions Bob Gilder and Jim Thorpe were joined in a tie for third place by Mark James and David Edwards. The quartet finished Friday's opening round at four-under-par 67.

Haas parred his first three holes, then recorded back-to-back birdies from the fourth hole. He added another front-nine birdie at the seventh to make the turn at minus-three.

Haas, the leading money winner on the Champions Tour, birdied two in a row from the 10th and seemed to be in command. He bogeyed the 12th for a momentary setback, but birdied two of his next three.

He dropped a shot at the par-four 17th, but reclaimed the lead by himself with a 24-foot birdie putt at the closing hole.

Haas already has two wins this season at the Toshiba Classic and Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf. Last week, he held the 36-hole lead of the The Boeing Championship at Sandestin, but shot a final-round 73 and tied for fifth place.

Eichelberger had an interesting front nine on Friday. He birdied three and six, but double-bogeyed the par-four fourth. He finished his front nine with an eagle at the ninth.

He parred his next five holes, but birdied the par-five 15th. Eichelberger, a six-time winner on the Champions Tour who has not visited the winner's circle since 2002, birdied 17 and converted a 10-foot birdie putt at the last to get within one of the lead.

Tom Wargo, Tim Simpson, Keith Fergus and Tom Purtzer share seventh place at three-under-par 68.

Defending champion Gil Morgan double-bogeyed his final hole en route to a one- over-par 72. He is part of a group tied for 31st place.
