Waugh birdied the first three holes at the start of her round. She came back with birdies at five and seven as she made the turn at five-under.
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Corey Pavin, the 1995 U.S. Open winner, established a new PGA Tour record on Thursday when posted a front-nine, eight- under-par 26 in the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. "I've never done anything like that before," said Pavin, who finished with a course-record-tying, nine-under-par 61. "It was pretty exciting for me. It was amazing."
The former nine-hole record of 27 was first established by Mike Souchak in the first round of the 1955 Texas Open. Two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North matched the number on the back nine of the first round of the 1975 B.C. Open. Billy Mayfair next tied the score on the back nine of the final round of the 2001 Buick Open and Robert Gamez was the last to shoot 27 when he did it during the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.
Less than half of the field completed their first rounds with several players yet to tee off.
He rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt at the first, then kicked in a short birdie putt at two that was less than a foot from the hole. Pavin hit a seven-iron to three feet to set up birdie at the par-three third, then made it four in a row when he drained another long putt, this time from 38 feet at the fourth.
Things fell apart after that. At the par-three seventh, Pavin had a look at birdie, but could not hole the putt.
Pavin did not let the par bother him as he knocked a seven-iron to 15 feet to set up birdie at the eighth. He closed the front nine with another birdie, this one from eight feet.

The most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made)
But you could also simply bet on the money line, or straight-up winner of the game. Oddsmakers use the money line so that more money must be risked on the favorite or expected winner and less money on the underdog to balance the action on both sides. While money line gambling is an attractive option for football and basketball bettors who only care about picking a winner, it is the primary option for those bettors who enjoy wagering on MLB baseball and individual sports like boxing, tennis, golf and racing events such as NASCAR. ( More details on playing the Money Line)
Another bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game.
The final score of Super Bowl XXXIX was 24-21; the scoring of both teams added up to 45, which means the game went Under . So Under bettors won, and Over bettors lost.
Sports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
The main advantage of futures is that you can get appealing odds by betting far in advance. For example, with NFL futures you often can get much higher odds on a team by betting before the season even starts. A NFL future bet on a team to win the Super Bowl odds might be 20/1 in the preseason; but by midseason, their odds might decrease to 10/1 if they turn out to be legitimate championship contenders.
Involves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total.
