Weekley Birdied Leaves Round Against Barnes

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.

 

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.

 

Duke also played the back nine first Friday. He poured in consecutive birdies from the 11th and again from the 15th to jump to 10-under. He picked up a birdie on 18 and came right back with a birdie on the first as well.

 

The 37-year-old Duke parred his next four holes. He ran off three birdies in a row from the sixth to move into a share of second place.

 

"Boo and I had a lot of good looks today," said Barnes, who was played with Weekley the first two rounds. "We've fed off of each other the first two days. Our iron play has been pretty spot on."

 

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.
