02/16/2012 - Bogota, Colombia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Australia's Peter Lonard and Americans Brian Smock and Billy Horschel each posted five-under 66s on Thursday to share the first-round lead of the Bogota Open, the 2012 season-opener on the Nationwide Tour.
Play was suspended due to darkness with three players yet to finish round one at Country Club de Bogota. They will return at 7:30 a.m. (et) to complete play.
Sponsor's exemption Morgan Hoffman and tour rookie Erik Flores are knotted in fourth place at four-under 67.
Defending champion Brenden Pappas headlines a group tied for sixth at minus- three.
Lonard was the first of the leaders finished on Thursday and bogeyed the second hole. He birdied four, then seven and reached three-under par thanks to an eagle at the par-five eighth.
Lonard birdied 13 and 18 to get in first at five-under par. The 44-year-old Aussie will need a big season if he's to return to the PGA Tour, where he played from 2002-09.
"I'm no spring chicken and there comes a time when you have to decide whether you're going to keep going or you're not," philosophized Lonard. "I suppose this is a make-or-break year. I'm not getting any younger. We'll see how we go this year. Obviously this year is the only year I'm interested in at the moment. If I have a really bad year then I'm probably done but I'd like one more shot at the main tour."
Horschel eagled the par-five 10th, his first of the round, but lost both strokes with a double-bogey at the par-three 12th. He tallied three birdies over his first nine, but bogeyed No. 2.
Horschel was two-under until a great run, starting at the fourth. He rattled off four birdies in a five-hole span to get to six-under par, but he couldn't stay alone on top.
He three-putted the ninth hole for a bogey.
"I'm going to have nightmares about that last one," joked Horschel. "I hit two good shots and I hit a great first putt that just broke off and left me with a two-footer. I didn't want to leave myself with that. I got up there and had a little downhiller and wanted to let it die in the hole. I completely stopped my hands and the ball started left and stayed left. It'll stick with me for about 20 minutes."
Smock made the turn at one-under and a birdie at one, his 10th, climbed him to two-under. He birdied three of his last four for a piece of the first-round lead.
NOTES: Had Horschel parred his last, he would've matched Tag Ridings 2010 course record...Pappas won last year when inclement weather wreaked havoc with the tournament and officials shortened the event to 36 holes...No one has successfully defended a title on the Nationwide Tour.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
