Francesco leads Edoardo in battle of Molinaris
Golf Betting Lines

Perthshire, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Francesco Molinari shot a four-under
68 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over his older brother Edoardo after
the third round of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.
Francesco Molinari finished 54 holes at 10-under 206 to lead big brother by a
shot.
This is the final week for Ryder Cup qualifying and Francesco has already
clinched a spot on Colin Montgomerie's team. Edoardo Molinari can't make the
team on points, but would have to be a candidate for a captain's pick.
A win from Edoardo Molinari on Sunday would have to put him at the top of
Monty's list. The problem is, to get that victory, the man who will have to
stop him is his kid brother.
The elder Molinari, who won this year's Scottish Open, shot a three-under 69
on Saturday.
Second-round co-leader Julien Guerrier (73), Oliver Wilson (68), Gregory
Bourdy (70), Stephen Gallacher (71) and Simon Dyson (70) are knotted in third
place at minus-eight.
Dyson is very much in the mix for a European Ryder Cup spot. Peter Hanson and
Miguel Angel Jimenez hold down the last two spots in points, but a Dyson
victory would get him on the team.
Jimenez is part of a large tie for eighth, one stroke behind Dyson at seven-
under 209. Hanson struggled to a three-over 75 on Saturday and fell into a tie
for 32nd place at minus-three.
