He wasted little time in breaking into red figures with a birdie at the first and a birdie at the par-five fourth. He added another birdie at seven, but dropped a shot a nine, his first bogey since his fourth hole in Friday's second round.

 

Snedeker owned a four-shot lead, but back-to-back bogeys at 13 and 14 tightened up the contest. Kuchar, a former winner on the PGA Tour, was even through nine holes, but three back-nine birdies, including one at 17, got Kuchar within one.

 

"All in all, it was a good day," said Snedeker. "I didn't drive it as well today and I paid the consequences for it. But I still putted pretty well and other than a couple of missed clubs, I played well.

 

"I was trying to run away and hide. But two bogeys back-to-back brought me back to reality. Hopefully, I'll hit a few more fairways and make it easy on myself tomorrow."

 

John Merrick, who shared second place after the second round, only managed an even-par 72 on Saturday. He is knotted in seventh place with Chris Parra, who posted a two-under 70 in the third round, at minus-eight.

 

Following back-to-back wins by Lorena Ochoa, the LPGA Tour is in Asia for the first of three consecutive tournaments on the continent.

 

Among the unique features of this event -- the first LPGA tournament held in Thailand -- is a true island green, where players are ferried by boat to their balls.

 

And although many of the top women's golfers in the world are not in the field -- including Ochoa, Karrie Webb and Annika Sorenstam -- there remains personal interest for the handful of LPGA Tour players with ties to the host country.

 

Some of them performed better than others.

 

Virada Nirapathpongporn, an LPGA Tour rookie who grew up in Bangkok, opened with a five-over 77. The second-worst score of the day left Nirapathpongporn alone in 57th place.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
