Weekley Birdied Leaves Round Against Holes

Golf Betting Lines

Reigning U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy (69) and 2001 British Open champion David Duval (70) are part of a group tied at minus-four.

 

Ken Duke, who won the Charity Pro-Am at The Cliffs earlier this year, also shot 63 to move into a share of second place at 15-under-par 129. He was joined there by 2002 U.S. Amateur winner Ricky Barnes (64).

 

Around the turn, Weekley birdied the first at Highland Springs Country Club. He tripped to his first bogey of the event at the second to slip back to 11- under.

 

Weekley, who turns 33-years-old on Sunday, caught fire down the stretch. He birdied the par-four fifth and came right back with a birdie on six. Weekley was not done.

 

"I've just been focused on hitting the fairways," Weekley stated. "I'm hitting it solid, but there are a couple of shots I haven't mastered yet in my swing of thoughts. Basically out here it is going to be a putting contest. I hit a lot of good putts today."

 

Barnes collected just one birdie over his first four holes, and that came on the par-five 11th. He birdied three straight from the 14th to get to 11-under.

 

After three pars in a row around the turn, Barnes carded four more birdies on the front nine to gain his share of second place.

 

Nick Flanagan fired a nine-under 63 of his own. He stands at 12-under-par 132 and he shares sixth place with Josh Broadaway and Justin Bolli.

 

Hoylake, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods two-putted for birdie from short of the 18th green Saturday to card a one-under 71 and maintain a one- stroke lead after three rounds of the British Open Championship at Royal Liverpool. Woods completed 54 holes at 13-under-par 203. In his 10 major championship wins, Woods has held at least a share of the 54-hole lead all 10 times.

 

The world's No. 1 player struggled on the back nine Saturday with his putter. He three-putted three times, including twice for bogey, but it was his closing birdie that helped him remain atop the leaderboard by himself through three rounds.
