10/26/2008 - Haikou, China (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Helen Alfredsson fired a seven-under 65 Sunday to come from behind and earn a three-shot victory at the Grand China Air LPGA.
Alfredsson, who won for the second time this season, finished the tournament at 12-under-par 204. She claimed $270,000 for the win and moved to No. 5 on the LPGA Tour's money list.
Yani Tseng, the McDonald's LPGA Championship winner, closed with a four-under 68 to end in second place at nine-under-par 207. Laura Diaz, who led after the first round, managed an even-par 72 in the final round to end alone in third at minus-eight.
Second-round leader Karen Stupples stumbled to a three-over 75 Sunday to slide into fourth place at seven-under-par 209.
Alfredsson got off to a flying start with birdies on one and two. After a par on the third, she birdied the fourth to move to minus-eight.
At the par-five seventh, Alfredsson made birdie for the first time this week. She came right back with a birdie on the eighth at Haikou West Golf Club to get within one of the lead.
Alfredsson parred the ninth and was suddenly tied for the lead after Stupples made bogey at the sixth. Alfredsson took the out-right lead with a birdie at the 10th. She would not give up that lead.
After three pars in a row, Alfredsson birdied the 14th to push her lead to two shots. A birdie at 17 moved the Swede three shots clear of the field. She did stumble to a bogey on the last, but it was more than enough for her to win for the seventh time on the LPGA Tour.
Tseng collected three birdies on the front nine to go with a bogey on the par- three fifth. On the back nine, she birdied 10 and 13 to move to nine-under. Tseng parred the final five holes to take second place.
Stupples led by two shots after birdies on three and four. However, she bogeyed the next two holes to slide into a share of the lead.
On the back nine, Stupples managed one birdie to go with four bogeys that dropped into a share of 14th place.
Young Kim posted a 71 on Sunday to take fifth place at six-under-par 210. Shanshan Feng was one stroke back at minus-five after closing with a four- under 68.

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:
