01/29/2012 - Ahmedabad, India (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - German Max Kieffer parred the first playoff hole Sunday to defeat India's own Rahil Gangjee and win The Gujarat Kensville Challenge 2012.

Kieffer earned his first European Challenge Tour title in this, the season- opener for the circuit.

Kieffer posted a final-round, two-under 70 on Sunday, while Gangjee, the third-round leader, managed a one-under 71. The pair finished regulation tied at seven-under 281 and was off to the par-four 18th at Kensville Golf & Country Club to begin the playoff.

In the extra session, Kieffer found the fairway off the tee, while Gangjee landed in a bunker. Kieffer knocked his second to 40 feet and Gangjee hit the lip with his approach and the ball bounced into water.

After a drop, Gangjee hit his fifth to 20 feet. Kieffer ran his birdie effort to four feet, then Gangjee missed his bogey putt. Kieffer could two-putt from four feet for the title, but poured in the par save for his first victory on the Challenge Tour.

Paul Dwyer shot a four-under 68 and tied for third place with Callum Macaulay, who had a two-under 70 on Sunday, and Andrea Harto, who carded a 71. The trio came in at minus-five.

Raymond Russell and Chris Doak both posted three-under 69s in the final round and shared sixth at three-under par.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
