Sunday Afternoon Beats Championship Of 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.

 

He tied Walter Hagen for second on the professional majors won list with 11.

 

Woods is now a perfect 11-0 in major championships when he takes at least a share of the 54-hole lead.

 

* 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.

 

* Chris DiMarco moved into sixth position on the United States Ryder Cup team points list, almost assuring himself a spot on Tom Lehman's team in about one month. The team will be finalized after the PGA Championship. Lucas Glover was bounced from the top 10.

 

* 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.

 

* Norway's Marius Thorp carded a one-under 71 on Sunday and won the Silver Medal as the low amateur at even-par 288.

 

I've had a day or two to think about this British Open and now feel ready to make this somewhat bold statement - I think this was his greatest major victory since the Masters in 1997.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).

Larry Johnson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries. Damon Huard completed 17-of-23 passes for 133 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
