Woods fails to break par at AroniminkGolf Betting Lines07/04/2010 - Newtown Square, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - If there were any questions about whether Aronimink Golf Club could stand up to the world's best players, they have been answered. World No. 1 Tiger Woods failed to break par in his four rounds at Aronimink and completed the AT&T National at four-over-par 284. By the time he finished off a one-over 71 on Sunday, Woods had dipped two places into a share of 49th place -- and 14 shots behind 54-hole leader Justin Rose, who was playing the first when Woods completed his round. It was the first time since the 1999 Players Championship that Woods failed to break par in a non-major. The last time he failed to break par in any of his four rounds was at the 2003 PGA Championship, where his best score was a two- over 72. "I just need to get my putter organized a little bit better," admitted Woods, who averaged 30 putts per round. Woods, the defending champion, mixed four bogeys and three birdies over his card Sunday. For the first time all week, he birdied both par-fives -- Nos. 9 and 16 -- but followed with bogeys on the next hole both times. After four pars to open his round, Woods tripped to a bogey on the fifth. He managed a birdie at the ninth, where he hooked a 240-yard shot around a tree and rolled it onto the green, but three-putted for bogey on No. 10. Woods ran home a nine-foot birdie effort at 11 to get back to plus-three. He two-putted for par on the next three holes before dropping another stroke on the 15th, where he found the left rough off the tee and came up well short of the green from a tough lie. He pitched to about 10 feet, but missed the par- saving putt on the right edge. Woods short-sided himself with his second to the par-five 16th, but managed to get up-and-down for a birdie. On the par-three 17th, the tees were moved up some 40 yards, but the pin was tucked in the left corner just above a menacing pound. Woods' tee shot sailed into the rough over the green. Rather than attack the flag and risk going in the water, Woods pitched into a chipping area, then putted to three feet. He tapped in for bogey. At the last, he found the right rough with this driver and his second bounced through the green. He managed a rather simple up-and-down par to close the tournament at plus-four. Despite hitting just 50 percent of the fairways on Sunday, Woods walked away from the tournament feeling good about his driving. "I drove it good this week, that was fun. It is not too often that Stevie is talking me out of drive," Woods said of his caddie, Steve Williams. "A couple holes I wanted to hit driver, but he said it's not the play. But I was hitting it so good, I wanted to hit it on every hole. It hasn't been like that in an extremely long time."

FOOTBALL TRASH TALKNFL Football Trash TalkTrash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing). Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion. Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site). Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com. Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season. The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation. What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill. Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies. But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply. In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
