Woods Leads Putt Against Friday

Golf Betting Lines

Quinney, who was in the first group off in the morning, turned in five-under thanks to a birdie on the 17th. Around the turn, he birdied two of his first three holes. The 27-year-old drained back-to-back birdies from the par-four seventh to grab his piece of the lead.

 

LaBelle also started on the second nine Thursday and he opened with consecutive birdies from the 10th. He carded birdies on 15 and 18 to make the turn in four-under.

 

"It was just a solid round all day. The key to my round is I played the holes that don't set up well for me smarter," LaBelle admitted. "My game has felt good most of the year. Anytime you've gone through 18 holes without a bogey, you know you've saved a few shots during the round."

 

Ricky Barnes, the 2002 U.S. Amateur champion, posted a seven-under-par 65 on Thursday, He shares seventh place with Boo Weekley, Jeremy Anderson, Josh Broadaway, Cliff Kresge and Knoxville Open winner Hunter Haas.

 

"I never saw it. I didn't see the flag," admitted Woods, who won this title last year and in 2000, both at St. Andrews. "Just left of the TV towers was where I was aiming. I was trying to hold it on the wind. I hit it pretty good."

 

This was Woods' second important eagle in as many days at Royal Liverpool. On Thursday, he drained a 35-footer at the closing hole to get within one of the overnight lead.

 

Two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen eagled the 16th, bogeyed 17, but birdied the last to polish off a six-under 66. He is alone in third place at minus-eight.

 

Miguel Angel Jimenez (70) and Adam Scott (69) are knotted in fourth place at seven-under-par 137. Englishman Robert Rock carded his second consecutive, three-under 69 on Friday and is alone in sixth place at minus-six.

 

At the 456-yard, par-four 14th, Woods found the fairway off the tee. His four- iron approach landed 15 feet short of the hole, hopped a few times, then rolled the last three feet into the jar for an eagle.

 

Woods, who missed his first cut in a major as a professional last month at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot, nearly holed a 40-foot birdie putt at 17, but made a small mess of the closing hole. At the par-five 18th, Woods pulled his drive left and was forced to lay up in the fairway. He hit an eight-iron 20 feet right of the hole, but missed the birdie putt.

 

His 65 on Friday is one off his best round in a major. Woods shot a 64 in the third round of the 1997 British Open and the defending champion has now posted 65 four times in one of golf's elite tournaments.
