LAS VEGAS -- With the Summer Olympics in August (and golf returning as a medal event for the first time since 1904), the PGA Championship was moved up to the last weekend in July to give us a condensed major schedule.Thats OK with yours truly, as were coming off giving out the winners of the U.S. Open (Dustin Johnson at 12-1) and British Open (Henrik Stenson at 25-1) in our betting guides here at ESPN Chalk. Johnson was my top value bet at Oakmont while Stenson was my third choice at Royal Troon.Now, this isnt normal, as I cant recall having back-to-back winners in my guide before. My goal in using around three players (sometimes four; often Ive used only two) is to find players that are likely to outplay their odds and to hit enough winners to show an overall profit. Ive done four golf betting guides for Chalk (and a total of 12 golfers), so the Johnson victory had us back to around even, but then the Stenson win has us playing with house money in the majors for about the next two years (though obviously were hoping for a couple more winners along the way to stay well ahead).The PGA Championship runs this Thursday through Sunday at Baltusrol in Springfield, New Jersey. Johnson is the 8-1 favorite at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, followed by Rory McIlroy and defending champion Jason Day at 9-1, Jordan Spieth at 12-1 and Stenson at 15-1. But while those are the favorites, dont forget that weve had first-time major winners in the three majors so far this year (but, no, Im resisting Sergio Garcia -- who probably inherits the undesired title of best to never win a major -- at 25-1).Were joined by my ESPN Chalk colleague Will Harris in looking for more live bets to add to your own handicapping (note: all listed odds are from the Westgate SuperBook as of Monday, July 24, but shop around for the best number):Will Harris value plays Nasir Adderley Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt. The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far.

Melvin Ingram Youth Jersey . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Dan Fouts Chargers Jersey .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. West Coast ruckman Scott Lycett will avoid a full knee reconstruction and is expected to recover from surgery by the start of the 2017 AFL season.With Nic Naitanui already ruled out for most of next year with a torn ACL, there were fears Lycett could join him on the sidelines after carrying a posterior cruciate ligament injury for much of the season.But the Eagles on Friday said Lycett had received good news from surgeons and should be free to line up for round one next year after having an operation next week.The 23-year-old met with Melbourne surgeon Julian Feller on Wednesday for a second opinion, after his initial consultation with a surgeon in Perth.Lycetts positive prognosis makes it less likely the Eagles will pursue delisted Kangaroos veteran Drew Petrie, who was identified as a possible short-term addition to the clubs depleted ruck stocks.ddddddddddddThe Eagles are, however, still likely to compete with Fremantle to lure Greater Western Sydney big man Rory Lobb to his home state of Western Australia.Lobb is contracted to the Giants for 2017 and the Eagles will need to come up with a sweet deal to secure the 206cm emerging star.West Coast tasked journeyman Jonathan Giles with backing up Lycett after Naitanuis season-ending injury but the 28-year-old is not considered a long-term replacement.Star Eagles Josh Kennedy (hernia), Matt Priddis (back) and Jeremy McGovern (shoulder) have all undergone minor operations over the past week but are expected to recover in time for pre-season training.
