01/08/2012 - Victoria, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Scott Arnold shot a three-under 68 on Sunday to win the Victorian Open by a stroke over Kurt Barnes.

Arnold finished four rounds at 12-under 272 to capture his first professional victory at Spring Valley Golf Club. He was able to hold off Barnes, who shot a five-under 66 in the final round and finished at minus-11.

"It's great, especially the way I did it as well," Arnold said. "I just sort of hung in there all day."

Michael Hendry, who was tied with Arnold coming into the day, shot his second straight two-over 73 en route to a third-place finish at seven-under 277.

Matthew Ballard (72), Peter Lonard (67), Leigh McKechnie (66) and Nick Cullen (66) shared fourth at five-under 279.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
