04/24/2010 -
Avondale, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Bohn shot a five-under 67 and moved into
the lead Saturday after the second round of the weather-delayed Zurich Classic
of New Orleans.
Bohn played all 18 holes of his second round Saturday after play was suspended
Friday because of thunderstorms. He made six birdies and a bogey and posted a
12-under 132, taking a four-shot lead over Jeff Overton and Australian John
Senden, who both shot 69s.
Lee Janzen, the two-time U.S. Open champion, led a group of five players tied
at seven-under 137. Janzen was one of the lucky players to finish before the
storms hit Friday, shooting a 66 in his second round.
He shared fourth place with Brian Davis (66), Alex Cejka (67), Greg Owen (70)
and 2003 PGA Championship winner Shaun Micheel (67).
Bohn is chasing his second PGA Tour win after capturing his only title at the
2005 B.C. Open. He celebrated his 37th birthday Saturday by taking the largest
36-hole on tour this season.
"I'm feeling very confident right now," Bohn said in a TV interview between
rounds.
The field was cut to the low 75 players who shot one-under 143 or better.
Defending champion Jerry Kelly and John Daly made the cut on the number.
Players who made the cut returned to the course in threesomes off the first
and 10th tees. They will play until it gets too dark.
Play was delayed for about an hour in the morning because of more inclement
weather.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
