07/21/2010 - Ada, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stroke play medalist Curtis Thompson and defending champion Jordan Spieth both won their first-round match play encounters Wednesday at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.
Thompson, of Coral Springs, Florida, topped 14-year-old Scottie Scheffler, 3 & 1. Spieth, from Dallas, Texas, cruised past Chelso Barrett, 7 & 5 at Egypt Valley Country Club.
Thompson was actually behind the 64th-seeded Scheffler on three different occasions and was all square after 14 holes. The 17-year-old Thompson won the ensuing three holes to lock up the win.
"On 12 and 13, you could tell that he wasn't hitting as good shots as he was hitting earlier in the round," Thompson said. "I knew when I got to 15 - he's only what 13, 14 [years old] - I knew I could have him there because that hole is 470 [yards] and it was into the wind today. He had 3-wood and I had 8-iron. There's a difference."
Spieth, 16, is attempting to become the second player in history to win multiple Junior Amateur championships after Tiger Woods, who won three in a row from 1991-93.
Next up for Spieth will be Robby Shelton in round two of match play Thursday. Shelton beat Ben Crancer on Wednesday, 3 & 2.
Gavin Hall, the 15-year-old who set a course record with a 62 on Tuesday, beat Brandon Ng, 3 & 2.
There were also a few upsets as Devon Purser beat Shugo Imahira, 1-up; Adam Ball defeated Marcel Puyat, 4 & 3; and Sam Straka got by Brian Jung, 1- up.
The second and third rounds of match play will be Thursday, the quarterfinal and semifinal matches are scheduled for Friday and the 36-hole championship final is slated for Saturday.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
