Woods struggles Friday at The Barclays

Golf Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - Paramus, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - One day removed from his best round of the year, Tiger Woods struggled to a two-over 73 Friday and fell five shots off the lead at The Barclays.

Woods, the first-round leader after six-under 65 on Thursday, played poorly on his back nine, the front side at Ridgewood Country Club, and fell to four- under 138.

He currently trails Australia's John Senden and Vaughn Taylor by four strokes, but both have their rounds to complete.

Woods needs a good week this week to continue his PGA Tour season. He's ranked 112th in FedEx Cup points and after this championship, the first playoff event, only the top 100 in the standings make the field next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

It seemed that maybe Woods' woes were behind him after his 65 on Thursday, which was his first competitive round since his divorce from Elin Nordegren was made public on Monday.

The simple answer for Woods' problems on Friday can be traced to one club.

"I didn't putt well at all," acknowledged Woods. "I didn't have the speed at all on the greens. I was leaving it way short or blowing it by the hole. Couldn't figure out the speed."

Woods needed 33 putts on Friday, which is up six from Thursday. He still leads the field in driving accuracy, which is somewhat of a shock considering he's ranked 180th on the PGA Tour this year in driving accuracy.

Woods claimed the lead on Friday with birdies at 11 and 18. He was eight-under par, but as soon as he made the turn, Woods began to show signs of trouble.

He made an eight-foot par save at No. 1, but missed the green right at the par-three second and couldn't save par from 25 feet.

The par-four fifth might have been the most puzzling bogey of the round for Woods. At around 275 yards, Woods elected to lay up off the tee with an iron, then hit his second 12 feet short of the stick. Woods missed the birdie putt, then walked up to tap in his two-foot par save, but missed that putt as well. He finally kicked in his bogey putt to fall to minus-six.

"That's just the way it is," Woods said. "Put it behind me. Striped the next one and hit a loose iron shot and ended up making bogeys, back-to-back bogeys."

Woods' dropped shot at six left him at five-under par. At the ninth, he missed the fairway left and couldn't make the green in regulation. He chipped to eight feet and missed that putt to limp in with his 73.

"A good weekend, you play around here and post good numbers, you'll move up the board," said Woods. "The guys aren't going to be tearing this place apart."

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
