Birdie Putt Helps Bowden With Par-five

Golf Betting Lines

"I got off to a bad start, but regrouped with that birdie on No. 4, " Armour admitted. "I didn't drive it well on the back nine."

The two-time Nationwide Tour winner parred his next four holes. Down the stretch, he turned it on. Bowden birdied the par-four 15th from 18 feet out and made it two straight as he drained an improbable 80-foot putt at 16.

"I've been playing good golf all year long, but I'm surprised to be in the picture. Realistically, I thought I had no shot after the first round," Bowden said of his opening 70.

"I came into this week without any expectations at all," admitted Bowden. "After the first day, I thought it would be an absolute moral victory to just make the cut. I have no expectations tomorrow. I'll just go out, have fun and think about my daughter."

Grand Blanc, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods posted his third consecutive round of six-under-par 66 on Saturday to move two clear of the field after three rounds of the Buick Open. He stands at 18-under-par 198 at Warwick Hills Country Club. If Woods heads into the winner's circle (he has won 35 out of 38 times on the PGA Tour with at least a share of the 54-hole lead), he will collect PGA Tour victory No. 50. He would become the seventh man to accomplish the feat, but would be the youngest to do it at the age of 30.

Standing in Woods' way on Sunday will be Scott Verplank, Lucas Glover and Robert Allenby, all of whom shot 66s on Saturday and are knotted at 16-under- par 200.

As if trying to catch Woods on Sunday wasn't a difficult enough task, Verplank and Glover have other things on their mind. Both are outside the top-10 on the United States Ryder Cup points list with only three weeks remaining to automatically qualify.

Some players finished their second rounds on Saturday morning. Play has finally caught up as Thursday's action was called early due to inclement weather and unplayable course conditions.

Woods bogeyed his second hole, but atoned for the dropped stroke with back-to- back birdies from the third. He parred three straight, but rolled in a 25- footer for birdie at the eighth. That got Woods to 14-under par, but he trailed Vaughn Taylor by two.

He parred that hole and 15, where he hit a nine-iron from 175 yards out. Woods pulled another outrageous club at the par-five 16th, when he roped a four- iron from 248 yards to 30 feet. His eagle putt came up well short, but Woods converted the five-footer for birdie and the outright lead.

His drive on the 18th became a tale of two different types of luck. Woods' tee ball struck a spectator in the hand, but sent the ball back into the fairway. After an autographed glove and quick check on the man's health, Woods knocked his second to seven feet. He drained the putt to give himself the two-shot advantage.

Taylor finished with a nine-under 63 in the third round. He is tied for fifth place with Stephen Ames (66), Joe Durant (67), Mike Weir (68) and two-time defending champion Vijay Singh (68). The group is knotted at 15-under-par 201.
