Woods unable to get anything going

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.

Problem with Bears?

Chicago, IL - New Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and star linebacker Brian Urlacher shot down reports of a rift, saying they're simply not true.

"There's nothing between us," Cutler said Thursday, when he reported to training camp. "I just want to put that to rest. There never has been anything between us."

Urlacher added: "I never said what I was quoted as saying and that's it. I have a lot of respect for Jay. I think Jay knows that."
Former Bears receiver Bobby Wade caused a stir when he told Minneapolis radio station KFAN-AM that Urlacher used a profanity while questioning Cutler's manhood during a conversation in Las Vegas last weekend. Wade, who now plays for the Vikings, said Urlacher used a profane version of the word "wimp" during the interview that had to be edited out.
go radio station WSCR-AM also reported that Urlacher had to be restrained from confronting Cutler during organized team activities.
"I wouldn't go face-to-face with Brian, anyway," Cutler said. "No, that's never happened. I've hung out with Brian away from the facility numerous times and we've always gotten along."
Urlacher, noting he was limited by a groin injury, denied the reports in an interview with the Chicago Tribune and did it again when he reported to camp.
"I didn't practice this summer, so I don't know how I would fight the guy if I didn't practice," Urlacher said. "We have no problems. I'm excited about football starting. I'm excited to have him as our quarterback."
Why would Wade say that?
"I don't know," Urlacher said. "Maybe he's jealous because we have a good quarterback now."
Cutler said the first he heard of any friction was when he got a call from Urlacher to clear the air. Urlacher, however, said he had already taken several calls from teammates wondering if the reports were true when Cutler phoned.
"He called me and I said, What's up (expletive), what are you doing?'" a grinning Urlacher said, uttering the same word he allegedly used with Wade. "It's so dumb to me that this even got to this point, but it did and then here we are."
better place after going 9-7 and missing the playoffs for the second straight year. They have a franchise quarterback for the first time in decades after acquiring Cutler in an offseason trade with Denver. But there are questions about his attitude following a fallout with Broncos management and new coach Josh McDaniels.
His critics include former Bears coach Mike Ditka and former Indianapolis and Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, one of Smith's mentors. Smith, however, said Cutler has been a model teammate so far while denying any animosity with Urlacher.
"There's no issue with Jay and Brian, except Brian and Jay are both excited about being teammates for our club this year," coach Lovie Smith said. "No more than that. We can't spend a whole lot of time on something that isn't true. I have talked to the players. Whenever something comes out, you have to address it, but it's a non-issue."
In some ways, Cutler is getting a second chance in Chicago, an opportunity to repair his reputation.
Smith said another quarterback - Michael Vick - deserves one, although he doesn't see it happening with the Bears, who lack an experienced backup. The former Atlanta Falcons star, who served a 23-month sentence for running a dogfighting ring, said Thursday he is getting close to signing with a pro football team.
"A second chance, like everyone in society who has paid their debt to society," Smith said. "He deserves a second chance. As far as we're concerned, we like this team that we have right now."
Particularly the new quarterback.
"Me and Brian have been on a good relationship since I've been here, and I expect it to continue that way," Cutler said.
