07/17/2010 - St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Three-time Open champion Tiger Woods mixed four bogeys and three birdies in a round of one-over 73 Saturday at the British Open.
Woods finished three rounds at three-under-par 213 and is currently 10 behind leader Louis Oosthuizen, who is still completing the third round.
"I couldn't get anything started today. I hit the ball better than the first two days and I got nothing out of the round," Woods admitted.
He hit 13-of-16 fairways on Saturday to raise his total to 37-of-48 for the week.
"My ball-striking is right where I need to have it," Woods stated. "I'm hitting the ball really well, I'm controlling the shots, but I'm just not getting it in the hole."
Woods had his worst putting round of the week as he needed 35 putts in his round.
"Some of the greens are faster than others. Around the loop (holes 7-11), they seem to be a little bit quicker," explained Woods. "I putted beautifully the first day. Yesterday and today, it felt like I three-putted every hole. It's frustrating because I'm hitting it well enough to contend in this tournament and I'm just not there."
Woods was plus-two through eight holes with six pars and a pair of bogeys. He two-putted for birdie on the ninth to get one back.
He got back to even-par for his round, and minus-three for the championship, with a birdie at 12, but dropped another stroke on the 13th.
Woods rolled in a birdie putt from just over 20 feet out on 15 before finding more trouble at the Road Hole. He drove left into the thick rough at 17 and could only pitch back to the fairway.
His third rolled off the right side of the green and into the rough across the road. Woods hit a stellar chip to tap-in range. At the last, Woods drove the green, but three-putted from long distance to close out his 73.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
