Wiesberger wins on Challenge Tour

Golf Betting Lines

07/11/2010 - Monthieux, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Austria's Bernd Wiesberger fired a course-record, nine-under 62 on Sunday to come from behind and win the Allianz Golf Open de Lyon on the European Challenge Tour.

Wiesberger finished at 17-under 267 and won by two strokes at Golf du Gouverneur.

"It's just unreal -- to shoot 62 on the last day to win the tournament is unbelievable," said Wiesberger, who picked up his first win on the circuit. "You don't get many days where everything goes right, but today was definitely one of those days."

Joel Sjoholm shot a six-under 65 and came in second at 15-under 269.

Third-round co-leader Thorbjorn Olesen (67), Fredrik Henge (64) and Adam Gee (66) shared third place at minus-14.

Wiesberger secured the victory with "the best two iron shots of my career." At the par-five 15th, the Austrian hit a six-iron to three feet to set up an eagle. He followed that with a seven-iron to two feet for a birdie at 16.

"The 15th and 16th holes were where I won the tournament -- to hit those two shots at that time was pretty special," acknowledged Wiesberger. "After that I knew that if I kept calm and played steady golf for the last two holes, the trophy would be mine."

Wiesberger moved up to fourth on the money list.

Charlie Ford and Paul Dwyer both posted rounds of four-under 67 on Sunday and tied for sixth at minus-13.

Big Ten Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Michigan State, Indiana
Work left to do: Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Iowa

Behind the big two, the pecking order might be in a bit of flux. Has Michigan State passed Indiana after handling the Hoosiers in East Lansing? Where is Illinois in that mix? What looked like a four-big league last week could be morphing into five -- and even six is not unthinkable at this point if everything breaks right.

Should be in:

Michigan State [21-8 (8-6), RPI: 20, SOS: 15] The Spartans made it four-for-four on the homestand, a gigantic accomplishment that leaves them in extremely good shape. MSU is only 1-6 on the road and is at Michigan and at Wisconsin to close things out, meaning the date with the Wolverines on Tuesday looms very, very large. Beating Texas early will hold up well, as will the rout of Bradley and the win over BYU, but will 8-8 be enough? It very well could be, as the computer numbers are good, but why chance it?

Indiana [18-9 (8-6), RPI: 24, SOS: 32] Hmm ... good thing the last two are at Northwestern and home to Penn State, because IU might want to get both to feel completely safe after dropping its third in the last four, fading after halftime at Michigan State. Who knew the best nonconference win would be over Southern Illinois, which is a gift that keeps on giving for the Hoosiers. The win over Wisconsin also looks good on the mantel.

Work left to do:

Illinois [21-9 (9-6), RPI: 31, SOS: 25] A good performance at Penn State leaves the Illini in pretty good shape. Can they go to Iowa and take care of business to really look on their way? That's a huge game, as there is a possible cluster of teams that will end at 9-7. Illinois beat Bradley, but has lost to Xavier. A 9-7 mark and a semifinals trip in Chicago could be enough with the computer profile hanging in there, but it would be better not to mess around, clinching at least a tie for third.

Purdue [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 47, SOS: 28] Couldn't get it done at Iowa, but did win at Northwestern to put 9-7 squarely in sight. Where does that leave the Boilermakers, though? Even if they beat Minnesota and Northwestern at home, that won't help the computer numbers. Nonconference wins over Virginia, DePaul and Oklahoma are solid, but not spectacular. The Boilers very well might need an upset in the B10 quarters to have a legit claim.

Michigan [19-10 (7-7), RPI: 55, SOS: 53] Well, Michigan did what it needed to do, winning at Minnesota to take control of its fate. The Wolverines have Michigan State and an already-wrapped-up-the-league Ohio State at home to close, so the chances are there. Win both and we can talk. There is no marquee win yet in the profile, and the Wolverines were splattered in several games against name opponents. A mediocre computer profile fueled by a lack of road wins isn't helping, either.

Iowa [16-12 (8-6), RPI: 80, SOS: 64] For the sake of being complete, we'll add Iowa, this season's Stanford. It's plausible that the Hawkeyes could get to 10-6 (at Penn State, vs. Illinois left), but where does that leave them after a gruesome nonconference performance where the best win was over ... Toledo? Iowa State? Cornell?? If they get to 10-6, we can start to look at what they need to do in the B10 tourney, although my gut sense is that they would need to make the final and have knocked off Ohio State or Wisconsin on the way to have any real claim.
