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.

The two first-round leaders are next on the leaderboard. Doug LaBelle shot 67 and is alone in fourth at minus-14, while 2000 U.S. Amateur champion Jeff Quinney posted a 68 and is alone in fifth at 13-under-par 131.

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.

He made it three in a row as he birdied the par-four seventh. Weekley also birdied No. 8 and a birdie on the ninth made it five straight to close his round.

"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.

Athens Regional Foundation Classic winner Paul Gow shot 66 Friday. He leads a group of eight players at 11-under-par 133.

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.

Sergio Garcia fired a seven-under 65 Saturday to climb to 12-under-par 204 and a share of second place. He was joined there Chris DiMarco, who posted a three-under 69, and Ernie Els, who also birdied the 18th to shoot 71.

Garcia and DiMarco both held a share of the lead during the third round with their stellar play. Former U.S. Open winner Jim Furyk, who played alongside Garcia, also had a share of the lead during the third round thanks to five birdies over his first 10 holes.
