07/17/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A wind delay Friday forced the completion of the second round of the British Open into Saturday morning.
Louis Oosthuizen remained atop the leaderboard as he finished his five-under 67 on Friday.
Oosthuizen completed two rounds at 12-under-par 132, which matched the low 36- hole score for an Open Championship at St. Andrews. Nick Faldo and Greg Norman both posted 132 in 1990.
Mark Calcavecchia, the 1989 Open champion at Royal Troon, also carded a 67 to move into second place at seven-under-par 137.
Englishmen Paul Casey (69) and Lee Westwood (71) share third place at minus- six. They were joined there by Alejandro Canizares (71) and amateur Jin Jeong (70). Jeong was the only amateur to make the cut.
Three-time Open champion Tiger Woods birdied the 18th hole Friday to finish off a one-over 73. He shares 14th place at four-under-par 140.
First-round leader Rory McIlory stumbled to an eight-over 80 to drop into a tie for 38th at one-under-par 143. McIlroy opened with a 63 on Thursday, matching the lowest score in major championship history.
World No. 2 Phil Mickelson shot a 71 that left him at even-par 144 and tied for 43rd.
Miguel Angel Jimenez (67), 1996 British Open champion Tom Lehman (68), Ricky Barnes (71), Peter Hanson (73), U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell (68), Retief Goosen (70) and Sean O'Hair (72) share seventh place at five-under-par 139. O'Hair was the only player to shoot par after the wind delay.
Stephen Tiley, who was in the last group out off the first tee Friday, stood at minus-six through 10 holes when play was stopped Friday evening. He returned Saturday morning and dropped seven strokes over his final eight holes to tumble to plus-one.
Tom Watson, who nearly won his sixth Open Championship last year, closed with a birdie at the 18th Friday in the final group to complete their round. However, his three-over 75 left him two strokes over the cut line.
NOTES: The cut line fell at two-over-par 146 and 77 players moved on to the weekend...Zach Johnson and Rickie Fowler, who came back from a first-round 79 to shoot five-under 67 in the second round, made the cut on the number...Among those that missed the final two rounds were Justin Rose, Mike Weir, 2002 Open champion Ernie Els, Davis Love III, Angel Cabrera, 2003 winner Ben Curtis, 2004 champ Todd Hamilton, K.J. Choi, Jim Furyk, two-time champion Padraig Harrington, three-time winner and six-time major titlist Faldo and 2001 champion David Duval.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
