Kaupulehu-Kona, HI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Forsman torched the back nine in 30
strokes Saturday to take the second-round lead of the Mitsubishi Electric
Championship.
Forsman, who needed only nine putts on the back nine and 21 for the round,
fired a seven-under 65 and finished 36 holes at 12-under 132. He leads by two
strokes at Hualalai Golf Course, the site of the season-opener on the
Champions Tour.
Tom Watson (65), Brad Bryant (64) and Jeff Sluman (66) are tied for second
place at 10-under 134.
It was a tale of two nines for the leader on Saturday.
Forsman had a very average opening nine with eight pars and a lone birdie the
par-five seventh. After the turn, he birdied 10 and 11, then played his final
six hole brilliantly to surge to the top of the leaderboard.
At the 13th, Forsman's approach stopped nine feet from the hole and he poured
in the birdie effort. He pitched his third at the par-five 14th to three feet
and converted the short birdie putt to join the group in the lead at 10-under
par.
After pars at 15 and 16, Forsman's tee ball at the par-three 17th came to rest
20 feet from the flagstick. He watched as his playing partner Michael Allen
missed from a similar spot and the lesson paid off handsomely. Forsman poured
in the birdie effort to take sole possession of first at minus-11.
Forsman's drive at the closing hole left him with a tricky angle to the pin,
but it hardly mattered. He stuffed his approach inside four feet and rolled in
the birdie putt to grab a two-shot lead.
"It was an exciting back nine for me," Forsman said in a televised interview.
"I got off to a little bit of a rough start. The back nine I caught fire and
finished 30 on the back for a 65."
Forsman endured through a rough 2011 season. He posted only one top 10, a tie
for fourth at the Montreal Championship, but his 2012 has showed quite a bit
of promise.
"I'm thrilled to be in the position I'm in," Forsman said on TV. "Early in the
year, I'm getting started here. It's been magnificent at this point, hopefully
it'll finish up nice tomorrow for me."
Allen bogeyed the last for a four-under 68. He is tied for fifth place with
Jay Haas, who carded a three-under 69 Saturday, at nine-under 135.
Defending champion John Cook (67), Jay Don Blake (67), Denis Watson (67),
Loren Roberts (70) and first-round co-leader Bruce Vaughan (71) share seventh
at eight-under 136.
NOTES: Forsman owns two Champions Tour victories - 2009 AT&T Champions Classic
and 2010 Regions Charity Classic...First-round co-leader and reigning
Champions Tour Player of the Year Tom Lehman only managed an even-par 72 and
is tied for 12th at seven-under par...Fred Couples shot a six-under 66 and
shares 14th at minus-six.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
