Woods Championship Host Host Against Career

Golf Betting Lines

With this victory, Tiger Woods became the first player to successfully defend the British Open title since Tom Watson in 1982-83.

 

This was Woods' third win on the PGA Tour in 2006 and his 49th in his PGA Tour career.

 

His major breakdown goes like this: Masters (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005); U.S. Open (2000, 2002), British Open (2000, 2005, 2006) and PGA Championship (1999, 2000).

 

* There was some sort of protest on the 18th green when the final pair waited to hit their approaches. Purple paint cannisters were broken on the green, but it did not impact either players' shots.

 

* The last player to be docked a stroke for slow play in a major championship was Steve Lowery at the 2004 PGA Championship. He was in the first group out in the first round.

 

* The easiest hole in Sunday's final round was the 554-yard, par-five 16th, which played to an average of 4.45. It was also the easiest hole of the week with an average of 4.41.

 

* Carnoustie will host next year's British Open Championship. The last time the event was held at Carnoustie was 1999 when Paul Lawrie won a playoff against 1997 winner Justin Leonard and Jean van de Velde. The trio got in at plus-six, but the tournament is most famous for Van de Velde's horrible collapse on the 72nd hole.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Here are some rantings from the world of professional golf. Sort of. TIGER THE IMMORTAL

 

For a man who is known for his length and how that length and style of play could lead him to 10 green jackets, Woods played in a completely opposite manner at Hoylake. He hit one driver the whole week. Think about that for one minute...

 

Last time we do that.

•    @UGTipster Probably wise at this stage of career although long term I think 2m4/5f may be optimum. 3m possibly within range as well.
