Griff handed lead at Seaforth Country Classic

Golf Betting Lines

08/21/2010 - Seaforth, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Darren Griff posted an eight-under 63 on Saturday to take first after three rounds of the Seaforth Country Classic, but it was a huge error by someone else that gave him the lead.

Jose de Jesus Rodriguez fired a 10-under 61 and was alone atop the leaderboard when he failed to sign his scorecard and was disqualified. He had a three-shot lead over Griff at the time of his disqualification.

"That's very unfortunate," said Griff, who finished 54 holes at 15-under 198. "He's excited, has the lead, shoots 10-under and I guess it just slipped his mind. It's harsh. There's not much you can say."

Stephen Gangluff had a six-under 65 on Saturday and is tied for second place with Kent Eger, who had a three-under 68 in round three. The pair is knotted at 14-under 199.

Aaron Goldberg, who won the last two Canadian Tour events, carded a five-under 66 and moved into a tie for fourth with Tom Glissmeyer, who had a 68 on Saturday, at minus-13.

Griff made the turn at two-under par on Saturday after three birdies and a bogey. After he made the turn, he birdied 11 and 13, then rolled in a 30-foot eagle putt at No. 14.

Griff birdied 16 and 17 to take the lead and is in great shape for his first Canadian Tour victory.

"If I win tomorrow or finish 10th, it doesn't really change anything," said Griff. "I've been playing good golf and no matter what happens tomorrow, I'll still be playing good golf. It won't change who I am. My friends will still be my friends. It's not going to change who I am or how I feel about myself."

NOTES: Second-round co-leaders Rob Grube and Brian Prouty shot even-par 71s, but fell into a tie for sixth at 12-under par...Brady Stockton, the third second-round co-leader, struggled to a one-over 72 and dropped into a share of 11th at minus-11...Goldberg is the leading money winner on tour.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
