11/10/2008 - St. Augustine, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Famed golf course architect Pete Dye was among six people inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame Monday.
Dye's courses have hosted major championships, PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events, Ryder Cups and Solheim Cups. Among his most notable are Harbour Town Golf Links (with Jack Nicklaus), Crooked Stick, PGA West at LaQuinta, Whistling Straits and the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.
"Somebody asked about different golf courses that are memorable, and I always go back to the Dominican Republic because that's the Teeth of the Dog," said Dye. "I went down there and there wasn't a paved road within 35 miles. If I live long enough, I've got nine more holes to complete down there and I'll have 90 holes, and there's 50,000 people that have jobs. The way things are going right now, it looks like they're doing okay down there as far as employment."
Dye, 82, joins a select group of architects in the World Golf Hall of Fame. Alastair MacKenzie, Donald Ross and Robert Trent Jones, Sr. are some notable golf course architects already enshrined.
Others inducted Monday were Bob Charles, Carol Semple Thompson, Denny Shute, Herbert Warren Wind and Craig Wood
The 72-year-old Charles, the 1963 British Open winner, became the first New Zealander and the first lefty inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He earned more than 60 international victories since turning professional in 1960.
Thompson, a seven-time winner of United States Golf Association championships, was selected in the Lifetime Achievement Category. She is one of only 11 golfers to have won the United States Women's Amateur and British Ladies Open Amateur titles.
Shute, who passed away in 1974, was chosen in the Veterans category. He had 15 PGA Tour victories to his credit, including three majors: the 1933 British Open and 1936 and 1937 PGA Championships.
Wind, who died in 2005, was a writer for The New Yorker from 1947 to 1953 and again from 1960 to 1990. He termed the phrase "Amen Corner" when writing about holes 11, 12 and 13 at Augusta National Golf Club.
Wood, who passed away in 1968, earned 21 PGA Tour titles, including the 1941 Masters. He won the U.S. Open the same year, becoming the first person to capture the first two major championships in one year.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |
