Drysdale started on the back nine and birdied his first hole. He carded his second birdie on the par-five 13th, then parred the final five holes of his opening nine.

 

The 31-year-old Scotsman drained a birdie effort on the first and got to four- under with a birdie at the par-five third. Drysdale closed with back-to-back birdies from the eighth to end alongside Edfors.

 

Eight-time Order of Merit winner Colin Montgomerie is part of a logjam in 81st at one-over-par 72.

 

Pawleys Island, SC (PRWEB) July 14, 2006 -- Pawleys Plantation in Pawleys Island, S.C., has been judged one of the best meeting facilities in the Southern U.S., Caribbean and Yucatan Peninsula for 2006 by readers of Meetings South magazine. The prestigious “Best of the South” awards for 2006 will be published in the magazine’s September issue.

 

“It’s very exciting for Pawleys Plantation to receive this award,” said Jann Walker, marketing director for Pawleys Plantation. “Our staff works hard to make the meeting experience at Pawleys Plantation an exceptional one and it’s gratifying to receive recognition for their efforts.”

 

Pawleys Plantation was named one of the “Stars of the South” by Meetings South readers in 2003. It is also rated as a four star facility in Golf Digest’s Places To Play. Four stars means that the resort’s golf course is “Outstanding -- plan your next vacation around it.”

 

Conveniently located near a wide variety of cultural and recreational amenities, Pawleys Plantation is approximately one hour from Charleston, S.C., a city well known for its Southern grace and charm; the historic port of Georgetown, S.C., is less than 15 minutes south on U.S. 17. More than 100 golf courses and 1,000 restaurants are in nearby Myrtle Beach.

 

Tucson, AZ (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) July 14, 2006 -- Since its launch in 2005 by three Tucsonans, http://www.dotcomtucson.com has gone through two major design changes, and added hundreds of new pages with exactly the content visitors asked for the most. And now, it offers the city's best calendar of events.

 

While the trend has been (and is) for large Internet companies to manufacture clone-style city portal websites, the creators of Dot Com Tucson took the road less traveled. "A city's website should be created by people who live and work in the city – people who care about the city – people who know the city!" Says Beverly Sidell-Fish, founder of Dot Com Tucson.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
