07/17/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time Open champion Tiger Woods mixed four bogeys and three birdies in a round of one-over 73 Saturday at the British Open.
Woods finished three rounds at three-under-par 213 and is currently 10 behind leader Louis Oosthuizen, who is still completing the third round.
"I couldn't get anything started today. I hit the ball better than the first two days and I got nothing out of the round," Woods admitted.
He hit 13-of-16 fairways on Saturday to raise his total to 37-of-48 for the week.
"My ball-striking is right where I need to have it," Woods stated. "I'm hitting the ball really well, I'm controlling the shots, but I'm just not getting it in the hole."
Woods had his worst putting round of the week as he needed 35 putts in his round.
"Some of the greens are faster than others. Around the loop (holes 7-11), they seem to be a little bit quicker," explained Woods. "I putted beautifully the first day. Yesterday and today, it felt like I three-putted every hole. It's frustrating because I'm hitting it well enough to contend in this tournament and I'm just not there."
Woods was plus-two through eight holes with six pars and a pair of bogeys. He two-putted for birdie on the ninth to get one back.
He got back to even-par for his round, and minus-three for the championship, with a birdie at 12, but dropped another stroke on the 13th.
Woods rolled in a birdie putt from just over 20 feet out on 15 before finding more trouble at the Road Hole. He drove left into the thick rough at 17 and could only pitch back to the fairway.
His third rolled off the right side of the green and into the rough across the road. Woods hit a stellar chip to tap-in range. At the last, Woods drove the green, but three-putted from long distance to close out his 73.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
