Canizares leads Kaymer in Paris
Golf Betting Lines
07/02/2010 -
Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Spain's Alejandro Canizares fired his second
straight five-under 66 on Friday to take a one-shot lead over defending
champion Martin Kaymer at the Open de France.
Canizares birdied his last three holes and finished two rounds at Le Golf
National with a 10-under 132, two strokes shy of Seve Ballesteros' 36-hole
tournament scoring record.
Kaymer, who defeated Lee Westwood in a playoff last year, shot a 67 on Friday
to sit one stroke off the lead at nine-under 133.
First-round leader Robert-Jan Derksen of the Netherlands had a 71 -- eight
shots worse than his Thursday score -- and dropped into third place at eight-
under 134.
Steve Webster (66) was another stroke further back at seven-under 135.
Derksen played in a morning threesome and was still in the lead when he
finished his round. Afterward, he settled in to watch the Netherlands knock of
World Cup favorite Brazil, 2-1, in South Africa.
But his lead did not survive the day.
Canizares and Kaymer waited out a rain delay of two hours and 25 minutes, then
caught Derksen with birdies near the end of their rounds.
Kaymer was first, making a birdie at the 14th to tie the Dutchman for the
lead. He later birdied the 17th to move on shot ahead.
Canizares, meanwhile, collected four birdies in his last five holes, including
three in a row at the end of the round to take his one-shot lead.
The son of four-time Ryder Cup player Jose Maria Canizares, Alejandro captured
his only European Tour win at the 2006 Russian Open. He made it through
qualifying school last year to earn his playing privileges for 2010.
"I was a little negative in my play last year. I wasn't into it very much and
had a couple of problems, personal problems," said Canizares, who is ranked
205th in the world. "But this year I came out, I got my card again, so it was
like a new start and I knew what I lost and I learned to appreciate it a
little more."
Kaymer is chasing his sixth European Tour win and second of the season. He is
beginning a unique two-week stretch that will also see him defend his title
next week at the Scottish Open.
Derksen has two career wins, the last coming in 2005.
NOTES: The cut line fell at one-over 143 and European Ryder Cup captain Colin
Montgomerie led the list of the departed...Jose Maria Olazabal, who was
playing for the first time since last October, shot a respectable 70 but still
finished at 10-over 152 to miss the cut...Robert Karlsson withdrew from the
tournament because of a strained wrist but said he would be ready for the
British Open in two weeks...Westwood was seven shots back after a 69.
