He collected four birdies in a five-hole span around the turn, then birdied the last to get in at minus-20.

 

Flanagan made his move up the leaderboard with a tournament-record-tying seven consecutive birdies from the second. He birdied the par-three 15th to get into first place.

 

"I holed my fair share of putts," said Flanagan, who hit 17 of 18 greens on Saturday. "I pretty much holed everything that I looked at. It was one of those things where you just get on a roll."

 

Stephen Marino posted a seven-under 65 on Saturday and is alone in ninth place at minus-17. Ryan Armour (63) and Jess Daley (66) are tied for 10th place at 16-under-par 200.

 

This was Woods' third British Open title and first at a venue other than St. Andrews. It was his 11th major championship to tie Walter Hagen for second all-time in professional majors. This marked Woods first major title since last year's British Open and the win was his third this season on the PGA Tour.

 

Jim Furyk, who squandered a chance to win this year's U.S. Open on the 72nd hole, shot a one-under 71 and took fourth at minus-12.

 

Sergio Garcia, who was trying for his first major in the final group with Woods, struggled again on Sunday. He posted a two-over-par 73 and tied for fifth place with Hideto Tanihara, who shot a 71 in the final round. The pair came in at 11-under-par 277.

 

"It's a shame," said Garcia. "That's the way it goes sometimes. I definitely didn't play the way I should have scored today. I hit a lot of good shots that were just on the wrong side."

 

This is not the only time that Garcia has been in contention in a big event only to play poorly on Sunday. He was in the hunt for the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage, then went into the final round this year at the Players Championship one off the lead, but shot a 78 on Sunday and tied for 14th place.

 

He dueled with Woods on the back nine Sunday in the 1999 PGA Championship at the ripe age of 19. The runner-up finish at Medinah was his best finish in a major.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
