08/15/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - It will be a majorless 2010 for Tiger Woods.
The world No. 1 posted a one-over 73 on Sunday and finished the tournament at two-under 286. There are several players in the clubhouse ahead of him, including No. 2 Phil Mickelson, who fired a five-under 67 on Sunday.
Martin Kaymer leads the championship at 11-under par.
Woods birdied three of his first four holes Sunday and was two-under as he was about to make the turn at Whistling Straits. He bogeyed the ninth and double- bogeyed the 10th to fall down the leaderboard.
"I got off to a quick start," Woods said in a television interview. "Boy I hit it so good starting out and completely lost it after that. Nine and 10 hurt quite a bit."
Woods, who last won a major at the 2008 U.S. Open, didn't start his season until the Masters after last November's car accident turned up details of extramarital affairs.
When he returned, Woods tied for fourth at Augusta. Woods next missed the cut badly at Quail Hollow and withdrew from the Players Championship on Sunday with a neck injury.
Woods shared fourth at the next major, the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, but things got worse after Pebble. He tied for 46th at the AT&T National, and shared 23rd at the Open Championship at St. Andrews, a course where he's won two British Opens.
Last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, a tournament he's won seven times, Woods finished in a tie for 78th place out of 80 golfers, and came in at 18-over par. That marked his worst finish as a professional and his worst four-round score as a pro.
"It's not a quick fix," Woods said. "It's going to take some time."
As for the future, Woods is so far down the FedEx Cup points list that he's only qualified for one Playoff event and that's in two weeks at the Barclays.
A week after that will be crucial for Woods. It's then that American Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin announces his four picks. Woods didn't earn one of the eight automatic bids, which will be finalized after the PGA Championship.
"I'd like to make the team. Obviously I don't think I made it on points," said Woods, who made every Ryder Cup team since 1997, but he missed the 2008 Ryder Cup due to injury. "I'm going to have to rely on Corey for a pick if he wants me on the team."

Many fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.)
"To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good."
Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins
There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida.
Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins
Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October.
USC Trojans - 10.5 wins
A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention.
Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy
Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2
He won it last year, so it's no surprise he's the favorite to do it again, making him just the second player to go back-to-back. Ohio State's Archie Griffin turned the trick in 1974 and 1975, and Tebow's coach, Urban Meyer, is pretty sure his star quarterback can match the Buckeyes legend.
"There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach."
Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1
The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines.
Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1
If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
