11/10/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LPGA TOUR - LORENA OCHOA INVITATIONAL, Guadalajara Country Club, Guadalajara, Mexico - Normally, Lorena Ochoa's boisterous hometown fans have to travel to see her play in person. This week, she is coming to them.
The inaugural Lorena Ochoa Invitational will spotlight its host's immense popularity in her home country -- her home city, in fact -- while bringing some measure to her influence on golf in Mexico.
The past few years, as Ochoa has ascended to become the top player in women's golf, Mexican crowds have grown at LPGA Tour events around the country, particularly in the Southwest. The fans are unabashedly supportive of Ochoa -- waving flags, chanting, etc. for their favorite player.
And this week she will host the top women's players in the world at her home course, Guadalajara Country Club.
Annika Sorenstam, Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and others will join Ochoa and several special invitees, including the top Mexican player from the Futures Tour (Sophia Sheridan) and the Latin player with the best score from the LPGA Wegmans Rochester (Marisa Baena).
All four rounds will be broadcast on the Golf Channel for 2 1/2 hours beginning at 3:30 p.m. (et) each day.
It is the final event before the season-ending ADT Championship next week, where Ochoa is the defending champion.
THREE-TOUR CHALLENGE
WENDY'S THREE-TOUR CHALLENGE, Rio Secco Golf Club, Henderson, Nevada - The LPGA Tour -- behind Cristie Kerr, Morgan Pressel and Natalie Gulbis -- won the Wendy's Three-Tour Challenge for the fourth time last year.
It was the first time since 2004, when Kerr teamed with Juli Inkster and Grace Park, that the women came away victorious at this non-official event.
This year, Kerr and Gulbis will be joined by first-timer Helen Alfredsson at Rio Secco Golf Club. They will face Stewart Cink, Rocco Mediate and Kenny Perry of the PGA Tour and Jay Haas, Fred Funk and Nick Price of the Champions Tour.
The PGA Tour -- normally favored -- has captured this event seven times, while the Champions Tour has garnered five Wendy's titles.
The one-day tournament, to be played Tuesday, will be broadcast on ABC. Last year it raised nearly $4 million for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

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."

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
