"It did give me a bit of comfort the last couple of holes when I had a three- shot lead," Harrington admitted. "I knew I could go left all the way home and be safe. After that good par on 14, I knew I had it."

 

With a chance to win the Order of Merit for the first time, he said "it looks like I'll be there" at the Mallorca Classic in two weeks.

 

Loar flew up the leaderboard with five birdies in a six-hole stretch from the fifth to grab a share of the lead with Dredge and Harrington at 14-under. However, Loar bogeyed the 11th and stumbled to two more bogeys down the stretch to end in a share of second.

 

Peter Hanson was joined by Casey in sixth place at 10-under-par 278. Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, Paul Broadhurst, Simon Dyson, Johan Edfors, James Kingston and Soren Kjeldsen shared 10th at minus-nine.

 

Cary, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Jenkins was declared the winner of the SAS Championship on Sunday after wet conditions forced the cancellation of the final round. "It feels good to win anytime," said Jenkins, who pocketed his largest paycheck to date, $300,000. "It was a great feeling to come back and play well this year."

 

The win was Jenkins' seventh on the Champions Tour and his first this season. His last victory came at last year's Allianz Championship.

 

Last week's winner at the Greater Hickory Classic, Andy Bean, and Jim Ahern shared sixth place at minus-five. Raymond Floyd, Gil Morgan, Scott Hoch and Brad Bryant tied for eighth at four-under-par 140.

 

The only thing keeping the PGA Tour regular from breaking tournament scoring record was a two-putt double-bogey at Empire Lakes Golf Course's 18th hole.

 

"Playing on my home course was a huge advantage this week," said Na, a Rancho Cucamonga resident. "The course was playing so difficult. Most everyone today was near even-par, which shows how tough it was playing."

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
