St. Andrews, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - World No. 1 and defending champion Tiger Woods will play with three-time Open champion Nick Faldo in the opening round of the 135th British Open Championship that tees off Thursday at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. Woods, whose two British Open crowns have come at St. Andrews, will be playing for just the third time since the Masters and the death of his father, Earl, earlier this spring.

 

Faldo and Woods will be joined in their group by Japan's Shingo Katayama when they tee off Thursday at 9:09 a.m. (et).

 

There are some stellar groups in the early session on Thursday. Former Masters champion Fred Couples is paired with Paul Casey and Sergio Garcia. They will tee off at 2:36 a.m. (et) Thursday. Another former Masters winner, Mike Weir, headlines the following group.

 

Two-time major winner Vijay Singh is paired with Zach Johnson and European Tour Order of Merit leader David Howell in the group behind Furyk at 3:20 a.m.

 

Two groups later, reigning Masters and U.S. PGA champion Phil Mickelson will play with Yasuharu Imano and Darren Clarke.

 

Following Woods' group will be Hideto Tanihara, Paul McGinley and David Duval. Duval, who is having a solid season, is still looking for his first win since claiming the 2001 British Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

 

Across the pond, John Senden earned his first PGA Tour victory at the John Deere Classic by saving par from a bunker at the 72nd hole. The Australian moved up 36 positions in the rankings to 78th.

 

Tiger Woods will defend his Open title after holding the top-ranked spot in the world for the 400th time in his career. He was again followed in the rankings by Phil Mickelson, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and David Howell to round out the top 10.
