07/11/2010 - Oakmont, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paula Creamer rolled in a four-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole Sunday to move three shots clear after the third round of the U.S. Women's Open.
Creamer finished the third round Sunday morning and posted an impressive, one- under 70 at a difficult Oakmont layout. She is the only player under par and got through 54 holes at one-under 212.
Wendy Ward also had a 70 in round three and is second at plus-two.
Suzann Pettersen (72), Christina Kim (72) and Amy Yang (71) are knotted in third place at three-over 216.
The third round was completed on Sunday morning after play was halted for darkness on Saturday.
The championship has played catch up after inclement weather halted action on Friday and forced the second round to be completed earlier Saturday.
Once the second round was completed, players went off the first and 10th tees in threesomes. More than half the field managed to complete round three before darkness fell at Oakmont Saturday night.
The players will go back out in threesomes off split tees for the final round, and with a bright forecast for Sunday, there should be no problem completing the final round.
Creamer was one-under for the championship after a missed short par putt on 13 Saturday night. The horn blew, but Creamer, well within her right, elected to putt out and missed a two-footer.
On Saturday, Creamer parred 14 and 15 and had a mere two feet left for par at the 16th. She missed that par putt to fall to even-par for the tournament, but the putter, and maybe nerves, got in the way again.
Creamer had three feet for birdie at the short, par-four 17th, but that putt never hit the hole. She was still at even, but hit a spectacular approach to four feet at the tough closing hole.
Creamer converted the birdie putt to build a three-stroke cushion with one round to go.
Creamer hasn't won a major, but has won several of the LPGA Tour's biggest events. She claimed the 2005 Evian Masters, the Tournament of Champions in 2007 and the 2008 Samsung World Championship.
The win at the Samsung stands as Creamer's last LPGA Tour victory as she has battled a thumb injury through most of last year and the earlier part of this season as well.
In fact, this is just Creamer's fifth start of the year and fourth since having surgery on her injured left thumb.
Lexi Thompson, 15, finished her third-round 70 on Saturday and is sixth at four-over 217.
World No. 1 Cristie Kerr, who romped to victory at the last major, the LPGA Championship, carded a four-over 75 and is tied for seventh place with Sophie Gustafson (74), In Kyung Kim (73), Natalie Gulbis (72), Sakura Yokomine (76) and first-round leader Brittany Lang (75). The group finished at plus-five.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
