08/23/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - On the list of things Arjun Atwal accomplished with his victory Sunday at the Wyndham Championship, this is the one you might not hear much about.
Atwal leapt 268 places in the world rankings to No. 182 this week.
Of course, Atwal also became the first Indian-born player ever to win on the PGA Tour and the first Monday qualifier to triumph in 24 years.
He sealed the victory with a seven-foot par putt on the 18th hole to beat David Toms by a shot.
"That was the most nervous I've been in my entire life," Atwal said.
Tiger Woods remained No. 1 with the PGA Tour heading into the playoffs this week, but Phil Mickelson continues to close in.
Mickelson, who has never been No. 1 in his career, enters this week's Barclays only .26 average points behind Woods. That's .23 fewer points than last week and almost a half a point closer than he was heading into PGA Championship.
Behind Woods and Mickelson, everyone else in the top 20 also held on to their spots from last week.
Lee Westwood, Steve Stricker, Martin Kaymer, Jim Furyk, Rory McIlroy, Ernie Els, Paul Casey and Luke Donald rounded out the top 10.
Ian Poulter, Hunter Mahan, Graeme McDowell, Anthony Kim, Zach Johnson, Retief Goosen, Robert Allenby, Padraig Harrington, Louis Oosthuizen and Sean O'Hair completed the top 20.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
