[tag]Rory Sabbatini[/tag] carded a second consecutive 67 to take a two-shot lead into the weekend at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio.

While fellow overnight leaders [tag]Paul Casey[/tag] and [tag]Hunter Mahan[/tag] struggled in difficult conditions over the [tag]Firestone Country Club[/tag]’s testing par-70 South Course layout to record three-over-par rounds of 73, Sabbatini produced a strong finish to surge into the halfway lead on six under par.

Sabbatini revealed it was a patient approach that paid off, saying: “It’s a matter of picking and choosing your targets. There are opportunities that you have that you can be aggressive but you have to kind of back down and just give the course respect, otherwise it’ll hit you pretty quickly.

“I didn’t quite hit the ball as well as I did yesterday. I hit a couple more drives in that that hay they call rough out there but it was a little more of a grind, a little more work. I think the positive thing I can take out of it is that I did battle out there today and came out on top.”

We all know about [tag]online gambling[/tag] being banned not long ago shutting huge huge poker, sports betting, and other casino sites. What some don’t realize is how great gambling really is for society. The ‘big board’ is the biggest casino on the planet. With futures you can bet not just on crops and how much a live cow will be worth in months to come, but you can “invest” in weather!?! Okay, you can hedge out dramatic temperature changes when growing crops, but buying and selling the snowfall in New York or Boston? There are some road plowing guys that drive pickup trucks with a blade on the front that whose income may swing a few thousand based on snowfall, but come on, this is just flat out gambling; and I see nothing wrong with it.
