Golf Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - Essex, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Daniel Gaunt closed with a four-under 68 Sunday to come from behind and win the English Challenge.

Gaunt finished at 17-under-par 271 for his first European Challenge Tour victory.

It was amateur Tommy Fleetwood who handed the Gaunt the title though. Fleetwood stumbled to a bogey on the 72nd hole to finish one back at minus-16. He posted a three-under 69 to share second with Craig Lee (68).

Gaunt birdied the first three holes to move to 16-under. He bogeyed the fourth but came back with birdies on five and seven.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood birdied one and two, but gave those strokes back with a double-bogey on the fourth. He got one back with a birdie on the fifth, then parred his next seven holes.

Gaunt tripped to another bogey at the ninth and led Fleetwood by two at the turn. Both players birdied the 13th and Fleetwood made it two in a row on 14 to get within one.

Fleetwood birdied the 16th for the third straight day to tie for the lead. However, he bogeyed the last to end one behind Gaunt, who parred the final five holes.

Third-round leader Thorbjorn Olesen stumbled to a two-over 74 to take fourth at 15-under-par 273.
