Woods Carries Hole At Career

Golf Betting Lines

With this victory, Tiger Woods became the first player to successfully defend the British Open title since Tom Watson in 1982-83.

 

He tied Walter Hagen for second on the professional majors won list with 11.

 

His major breakdown goes like this: Masters (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005); U.S. Open (2000, 2002), British Open (2000, 2005, 2006) and PGA Championship (1999, 2000).

 

* The final group of Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia was put on the clock on the back nine due to slow play. Both players had their share of problems with camera phones going off during their backswings. By the 14th hole, they were off the clock.

 

* Chris DiMarco moved into sixth position on the United States Ryder Cup team points list, almost assuring himself a spot on Tom Lehman's team in about one month. The team will be finalized after the PGA Championship. Lucas Glover was bounced from the top 10.

 

* The easiest hole in Sunday's final round was the 554-yard, par-five 16th, which played to an average of 4.45. It was also the easiest hole of the week with an average of 4.41.

 

* Carnoustie will host next year's British Open Championship. The last time the event was held at Carnoustie was 1999 when Paul Lawrie won a playoff against 1997 winner Justin Leonard and Jean van de Velde. The trio got in at plus-six, but the tournament is most famous for Van de Velde's horrible collapse on the 72nd hole.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Here are some rantings from the world of professional golf. Sort of. TIGER THE IMMORTAL

 

Welcome back.

 

All Woods did was hit two-irons with an occasional three-wood. He didn't need anything else considering the fairways were faster than a bowling lane. That led Woods to hit almost 85 percent of the fairways. That's staggering. Think about that for one minute...

 

Often times I get annoyed with Woods because I think he is more than distant to the media and to the world in general.
