08/09/2008 - Wichita, KS (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Piercy was five-under par for his round Saturday before play was suspended for the night due to inclement weather at the Wichita Open.
Piercy stands atop the leaderboard at 21-under par, three strokes clear of Hunter Haas. Both Piercy and Haas will return to finish the 18th hole on Sunday morning.
There was a three-hour weather delay to start the third round, then another delay late in the day forced the suspension of play. Just two groups remained on the course and that includes five of the top six players on the leaderboard.
Play is slated to resume Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m. (et). Officials will then re-pair the players and start the final round at 10:32 a.m.
Behind Piercy and Haas, Daniel Summerhays is alone in third at minus-16 overall. He is four-under for his third round on the North Course at Crestview Country Club.
Brendon De Jonge is the leader in the clubhouse at 15-under-par 198. He fired an eight-under 63 on Saturday. He is tied there with Chris Anderson and Spencer Levin, who were on the 18th hole when play was called.
Piercy had a steady round going with five birdies and 12 pars. His first birdie came on the par-five second. He birdied the par-four sixth to move to 18-under.
After four straight pars, Piercy dropped in his third birdie at the 11th. He also collected birdies on the 14th and 17th to get to 21-under before action was halted for the day.
Haas opened with back-to-back birdies from the second. After he dropped a shot on the par-four sixth, Haas recovered that lost stroke with a birdie at the ninth.
On the back nine, Haas climbed to 15-under with a birdie at the 11th. He poured in three consecutive birdies from the 14th to get within three of the lead before play stopped for the day.
Won Joon Lee posted a seven-under 64 and is alone in seventh at 14-under-par 199. Bob May and Josh McCumber are one stroke back at minus-13.
Six more players are tied for 10th place at 12-under-par 201. Five of them have completed their rounds -- Ben Bates (65), Scott Gardiner (68), Scott Gutschewski (68), Brian Smock (68) and Fabian Gomez (67). They were joined there by Aaron Watkins, who is one-under for his round through 17 holes.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
