British Open Day
One: Tiger Woods still in the game
The Day One of the 2007
British Open is underway, Tiger Woods is tied 7 with 2 under.
Tiger Woods is still in the game, as he battles for his third
straight British Open win. Woods shot 2-under-par 69 to tie for
the 7th with K.J. Choi and Steward Cink. Nothing out of the
ordinary, as Tiger Woods usually does a lower score at the
opening rounds, while he adjust his game to the course. "Given
the conditions, I'm always happy with that. The back nine is
tough," Tiger Woods said after the opening round of the 2007
British Open.
The weather is a big problem for many
golfers at the 2007 British Open, including Woods, who had to
wear a bundle of clothes to fight the chill at the Carnoustie,
with the highest temperature for Thursday at only 57F (14C).
There will be no break tomorrow either, with a forecast for
Friday to reach 60F tops.
At publishing time (2:00pm EST, 7:00pm
BST) Sergio Garcia was the lone leader at the 2007 British Open,
shooting 5 under par after the 16th. Paul McGinley held second
position with -4 67, and tied for third are Michael Campbell,
Markus Brier, Angel Cabrera and Rory McIlroy, all with 3-under
par 68.
Angel Cabrera (on the picture above),
the defending US Open champion, got off to a great start at the
British Open, and is proving to the critics that he is a major
force to be reckon with. The Argentinean's round contained four
birdies as opposed to just one bogey, at the 12th. Odds on Angel
Cabrera to win the 2007 British Open are set at 40/1 by the
online betting website Bodog Sports. The current leader Sergio
Garcia has the odds 33/1 and Tiger Woods remains the favorite
with betting odds of only 3/1 on winning his third straight
British Open.
