Tiger Woods held at least a share of the lead late into the evening at Muirfield before a major swing at the 17th hole saw Tiger fall behind Lee Westwood. The Englishman, chasing his first career major victory at the age of 40, carded a third-round 70 to carry a two-shot advantage into the final round Sunday, making himself the current betting favorite among all players.
Via Bovada.lv:
Lee Westwood: 2/1
Tiger Woods: 9/4
Adam Scott: 7/1
Hunter Mahan: 7/1
Phil Mickelson: 20/1
Woods has never won a major when trailing with 18 holes left to play, and will walk his final round alongside former caddie Stevie Williams, who now caddies for Adam Scott. At last year’s Open Championship, Scott blew a four shot lead with four holes to play to gift the tournament to Ernie Els. Westwood has never won a major in 61 tries, Mahan hasn’t won a tournament since last April, and Mickelson is five shots back. I wouldn’t advise betting on anyone.
