Bowden overcame a triple-bogey at the 10th hole thanks to a mistake by his caddy. He finished with his second consecutive three-under 69 and is alone in second at minus-six.

 

Tom Johnson, Jarrod Lyle and Michael Sim are all five-under par, but have yet to complete their second rounds.

 

On the second nine, Stadler reached five-under par for the championship with a birdie at the second. He recorded birdies at the par-five sixth and the par- four eighth to move into the lead.

 

With his two victories, Stadler ranks seventh on the Nationwide Tour money list and is virtually assured a spot on the PGA Tour next year for finishing inside the top-20.

 

Bowden was cruising along with three birdies on his front nine. When he reached the par-four 10th, Bowden was in the same bunker as playing partner Steve LeBrun. After LeBrun hit his shot, Bowden's caddy raked the area where LeBrun hit which constituted a penalty as testing the area before he played the shot.

 

Two strokes was the penalty and Bowden fell all the way down to three-under par for the tournament. He tallied birdies at 12, 13 and 15 to move into second.

 

Chonburi, Thailand (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Far from home, Nicole Castrale is nearing her first LPGA win. Castrale, a Southern California native, fired a four-under 68 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Hee-Won Han heading into the final round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

 

Meanwhile, Castrale is leading for the first time heading into the final round.

 

Castrale, 27, turned professional in 2001 but hasn't played much on the LPGA Tour. She won back-to-back tournaments on the Futures Tour in 2005 and finished fourth on the money list to earn her exempt status for this year's LPGA season.

 

Saturday, Castrale successfully negotiated lakes, rivers and considerable elevation change at the challenging par-72 layout to record six birdies and two bogeys.

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined

Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.

"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."

Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)

According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.

As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).

Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.

Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at

17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.

*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007

New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers

By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.

"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."

While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
