DUBLIN, Ohio -- Tiger Woods withdrew from the U.S. Open on Wednesday as he recovers from back surgery that has kept him out of golf for nearly three months. It will be the second U.S. Open, and sixth major, he has missed because of injury over the last six years. The U.S. Open is June 12-15 at Pinehurst No. 2, where Woods tied for third in 1999 and was runner-up in 2005. The announcement on his website was not surprising. A week ago at a promotional event for the Quicken Loans National at Congressional, Woods said he still had not taken a full swing with a golf club and did not know when he could. He had microdiscetomy surgery to relieve a pinched nerve on March 31. "Unfortunately, I wont be there because Im not yet physically able to play competitive golf," Woods said. "Id like to convey my regrets to the USGA leadership, the volunteers and the fans that I wont be at Pinehurst. The U.S. Open is very important to me, and I know its going to be a great week." Woods last played on March 9 at Doral, where he closed with a 78 while suffering what he called back spasms. He withdrew in the middle of the final round at the Honda Classic with back pain a week earlier. Woods is a three-time U.S. Open champion, one short of the record shared by Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones and Willie Anderson. His most recent U.S. Open victory was in 2008 at Torrey Pines, where he won in a playoff over Rocco Mediate a week before he had season-ending knee surgery. That was his 14th victory in 46 majors, a winning rate of 30 per cent as a pro. He has not won a major since Torrey Pines, leaving him four short of Nicklaus record. Woods missed the British Open and PGA Championship after knee surgery in 2008. He missed the U.S. Open and British Open while allowing leg injuries to heal in 2011. He missed the Masters for the first time in April because of back surgery. Nicklaus said earlier Wednesday that Woods health would be the biggest obstacle in breaking his record in the majors. Woods called Nicklaus earlier Wednesday to express regrets about missing the Memorial, and Nicklaus said that Woods indicated he was making progress. "If hes healthy, I think Tiger has got 10-plus years to play top quality tournament golf," Nicklaus said. "And Ive said many times, hes got a little over 40 tournaments to play the major championships; hes only got to win five to pass my record. As good a player as he is, I dont think that should be a big deal. But then again, hes got to do it. Plus, hes also got to be healthy to be able to do it." Woods has not indicated when he might be able to return to competition, saying that would be up to his doctors and how he recovers from the surgery. "Despite missing the first two majors, and several other important tournaments, I remain very optimistic about this year and my future," he said. While Woods wont be at Pinehurst, niece Cheyenne Woods will be there the following week for the U.S. Womens Open. She earned a spot Wednesday in qualifying in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Leaderboard British Masters supported by Sky Sports Noren banished the memory of his closing double-bogey on Friday as he fired a six-under 66 without a single blemish on his card to take a commanding into the final day.Player of the day As good as Noren was, weve gone for Marcel Siem, who has had a rotten year by his standards with just two top-10 finishes all season and a dozen missed cuts. But he gave himself a great chance to rocket up the world rankings and the Race to Dubai as five birdies over the last six holes capped a superb 65. Former Ryder Cup player Peter Hanson surged into the mix with a 66 Star shotScott Jamiesons chip-in for birdie at 10 was an early candidate, but our leader Alex Noren trumped that with a second shot to the 12th described by Mark Roe as magnificent. His drive avoided dropping in the left fairway bunker by inches, but despite standing in the sand with the ball way above his feet, he made great contact and knocked it to 15 feet. Shame the birdie putt lipped out! That monster birdie putt at the last merits consideration as well. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just £6.99. No contract. Biggest disappointmentObvious one - Beef! The fan favourite struggled to get going early on and turned in 37, and although he finally got a birdie putt to drop at 11, he stuffed his second in the drink at the next and double-bogeyed. He hit back with two birdies before dropping another shot at 16, and he parred in for a 73 which leaves him eight off the lead. Alex Noren will take a three-shot lead into the final round Story of round threeRichard Bland, still seeking his first European Tour win in his 395th start, got off to a cracking start as he extended his overnight lead with birdies at each of the first two holes, but a bogey at the fourth set him back and he was constantly scrambling to save par over the next few holes. Marcel Siem has the clubhouse lead at the British Masters after a third round 65. He joined Sarah Stirk at the SkyCart The veteran journeyman could not get out of more trouble at the 12th, although he finally got somme more red on his card with a nice putt for a four at the long 15th before doing well to pitch and putt from over the back of the 18th green to salvage a 69 and stay well within striking distance of the leader.ddddddddddddWith Bland struggling, Noren seized his chance to take control of the tournament and, after picking up an early birdie at the second, he added another at the sixth before beginning the back nine with a three which took him into the outright lead. Andrew Johnston struggled to get going early on and slipped down the leaderboard The Swede, twice a winner on the European Tour this season, affected a sublime up and down from thick rough at the long 15th, and he converted a solid approach to the 17th to get to 15 under par - three clear of the chasing pack.Noren could not go at the final green in two after bunkering his drive, but he atoned for a poor third by rolling in a remarkable 50-foot putt for his sixth birdie of the day, putting him in pole position for a seventh career title. Andrew Johnston struggled to get going early on and slipped down the leaderboard His compatriot Peter Hanson also kept a bogey off his card as the former Ryder Cup star moved smoothly to 12 under with a five-birdie 66, and he shares second with Bernd Wiesberger (67), Richard Sterne (67) and Tommy Fleetwood (68).Siem held the clubhouse lead for some time after his remarkable finish, the German bouncing back from a bogey at the 12th to birdie five of the final six holes, and he should have made it six as he missed out at the long 15th. Noren has already won twice on the European Tour this season Lee Westwood continued to produce his best golf for some time and will look to put early pressure on Noren after a bogey-free 67 lifted him alongside Siem on 11 under, with his former Ryder Cup team-mate Graeme McDowell one further back.McDowell made great strides up the leaderboard with two opening birdies followed by three in a row around the turn, but the putts dried up for the 2010 US Open champion and his frustration was evident when he made a mess of the last and signed off with a scrappy six.
