Karlsson At Birdied Shot

Golf Betting Lines

Jason Caron holds on to the 62nd spot on the Nationwide Tour money list and played well on Thursday. He posted a three-under-par 68 and is part of a group tied for 23rd place.

Playing parallel to the season-ending tournament at Valderrama is the homestretch race for the European Tour's Order of Merit title.

"I don't like to give up. I'm not a quitter." said Casey, who received an injection at the 11th tee.

"That's the worst I've felt on the golf course," he added. "I wasn't even thinking of my score. I was just trying to stay out of [playing partner Padraig Harrington's] way and let him play. In other circumstances, I would probably have withdrawn."

Like Casey, all three are competing for their first Order of Merit crowns.

Harrington, who moved past Howell and into second place with a victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship two weeks ago, shot a two-over 73 and is tied for 30th place.

"It was obviously a very tough day as well for Paul," he added. "He was struggling to get around. Nothing seemed to go right for him either."

"I certainly feel like I'm going to be okay. It's a day-by-day thing and I'm fairly hopeful I will get through the week," Howell said. "All in all, I'm very pleased...I need to improve but I feel like I know what I've got to do to do that."

Sharing seventh place with Karlsson at two-under are Englishmen Luke Donald, Philip Archer, Lee Westwood, Simon Wakefield and David Lynn and Germany's Marcel Siem.
