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.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
