Sergio Garcia With Woods Round

Golf Betting Lines

He collected four birdies in a five-hole span around the turn, then birdied the last to get in at minus-20.

 

"I just want to go out there tomorrow and go as low as I can," said Quinney, who won the 2004 Oregon Classic. "I've got to shoot seven- or eight-under to have a chance to win. I've been in this situation the past couple of weeks so hopefully that will help."

 

Jaco Van Zyl (63), Justin Bolli (66) and Ricky Barnes (69) are knotted in sixth place at 18-under-par 198.

 

Hoylake, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods successfully defended his British Open Championship title on Sunday with a two-shot victory at Royal Liverpool. The No. 1 player in the world was threatened by Chris DiMarco on the back nine, but three consecutive birdies from the 14th allowed Woods to shoot a final-round, five-under 67. Woods finished the event at 18-under-par 270.

 

This was Woods' third British Open title and first at a venue other than St. Andrews. It was his 11th major championship to tie Walter Hagen for second all-time in professional majors. This marked Woods first major title since last year's British Open and the win was his third this season on the PGA Tour.

 

DiMarco, who lost to Woods in a playoff at the 2005 Masters, shot a four-under 68 to take second place at 16-under-par 272. Ernie Els, the 2002 British Open champion, posted a one-under 71 and finished alone in third place at 13-under- par 275.

 

Hoylake, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Another major, another chance to contend and another blown opportunity. That sums up Sergio Garcia's week at Royal Liverpool. On Sunday, he played in the final pairing with eventual winner Tiger Woods and began the final round one shot off the pace. The Spaniard bogeyed the second and third holes, then bogeyed eight and nine and fell out of the tournament.

 

"It's a shame," said Garcia. "That's the way it goes sometimes. I definitely didn't play the way I should have scored today. I hit a lot of good shots that were just on the wrong side."

 

This is not the only time that Garcia has been in contention in a big event only to play poorly on Sunday. He was in the hunt for the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage, then went into the final round this year at the Players Championship one off the lead, but shot a 78 on Sunday and tied for 14th place.
