Kritik und Lob » n four seasons with the Steeler

Tiger Woods hasnt played on the PGA Tour in more than a year, but he still demands respect from oddsmakers.The Westgate SuperBook opened the former No. 1 golfer in the world at 40-1 to win this weeks Safeway Open at Silverado Country Club (North) in Napa, California. Woods has not played in a PGA Tour event since finishing tied for 10th at the Wyndham Championship in August 2015. He has since had multiple back surgeries.Only eight golfers have better odds this week than Woods. He has better odds than four golfers who have won PGA Tour tournaments this year.Still, Jeff Sherman, assistant manager at the Westgate SuperBook and a golf odds specialist, is expecting plenty of support on Woods. Sherman said he didnt think odds around 20-1 would attract much support. At the same time, though, he knew there was no need to go anywhere near 100-1.He is so polarizing that there will be plenty of support at 40-1 and plenty of scoffing that there should be a zero added to [Woods odds], as there always is, Sherman told ESPN. [I] just tried to find a number to attract some support, while also managing it from excessive liability.Woods is a -130 favorite to make the cut at the SuperBook, and his over/under on his first round score is set at 72. He is a -150 favorite to find the fairway with his opening first-round tee shot.Paul Casey and Matt Kuchar are co-favorites to win the Safeway Open at 12-1, followed by Phil Mickelson at 20-1.Two sources told ESPNs Bob Harig that Mickelson and Woods?would be paired together in the opening round.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum is so close to returning from knee surgery that he can see the light.Beachum will make his Jaguars debut Sunday night against Cincinnati, starting at left tackle. It will be his first game action since the former Pittsburgh Steelers starter tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Arizona on Oct. 18.I dont know how close, but I really feel close to being similar to myself, said Beachum, who started 39 games in four seasons with the Steelers. And thats a good thing right now.After signing a five-year, $45 million contract with Jacksonville in free agency, Beachum sat out the teams entire offseason program while recovering from reconstructive surgery. He returned sooner than expected, getting back on the field during the first week of training camp, but then was shut down as a precaution. The brief stint on the field gave Beachum a chance to evaluate where he was at physically and mentally, and allowed him get a better feel for how far he had to go to get back to 100 percent.He missed Jacksonvilles first two preseason games, but returned to full practice this week in anticipation of playing against the Bengals.Ive had to have some conversations with a number of my colleagues and people that Im close to about this process, which has been a little rough at times, Beachum said. But, like I said, its closer than it was a month ago. Its closer than it was last week. Just taking it a day at a time and making sure that Im being patient, and thats hard to do at this point.Especially with the opener against Green Bay a little more than two weeks away.Beachum feels like he wont be fully back until he plays an entire game. He wont do that in the preseason, so his first channce will come Sept.dddddddddddd 11 against the Packers.In the meantime, he needs to get as acclimated as possible to new teammates as well as playing full speed with a knee brace. And he needs to finalize where hes going to line up.Beachum and Luke Joeckel, the second overall pick in the 2013 draft, shared repetitions at left tackle and left guard early in camp. With Beachum out, Joeckel started two preseason games at left tackle and played well.So coach Gus Bradley has to decide whether to keep Joeckel there and move Beachum inside. Or slide Joeckel over and put Beachum at the position he primarily played in four seasons with the Steelers.His attitude is great about it, Bradley said. Hes gaining confidence every day. ... Whatever hes going through, its great to work through it. I think that builds great mental toughness, great confidence in what he can do, and you just see him every day progressing. That part is good. Im very pleased that we didnt (bring him back) too fast.Solidifying the line is one of Jacksonvilles top priorities heading into the season. Blake Bortles was sacked 106 times in two seasons, an NFL record for quarterbacks in their first two years.Having center Brandon Linder healthy after missing all of last season with a shoulder injury should be part of the solution. Getting Beachum back is a key, too.I pushed the needle and kind of pressed the envelope to try to get out there and get rolling, Beachum said. But I think they did a great job of managing the situation at the time. Feeling good right now. ... I can see the light.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
