Woods hasnt been the same since shooting 66 in the first round, his lowest score of the season and matching his best in relation to par. That led to a double-bogey, which dropped him to five under.
I just wanted to sleep in to be honest, so now I dont have to get up early in the morning, Bohn said. “I could have been three, four or five under on the front nine and got nothing out of it”.
After hitting his approach shot on No. 12, Woods politely acknowledged a fan who yelled, “Put the pedal down, Tiger”.
Paired with Morgan Hoffmann, Woods just missed a 10-and-a-half-foot birdie putt on the par-4 first hole.
It was a day of mixed success for Tiger Woods on day three of the Greenbrier Classic.
They were being chased by a tightly bunched field with a group of seven players just one stroke back.
O’Hair, who has won four times on the PGA Tour but not since the 2011 RBC Canadian Open, birdied four of the last eight holes to finish a 66.
However, he was unable to maintain the momentum. He hit 10 of 14 greens off the tee box.
Park’s bogey-free round at The Old White course included four birdies.
His drive at 11 bounced off the cement cart path and landed out of bounds. The only blemish in his round was a bogey on the 11th.
Instead, Woods did something he hasn’t been able to do in a long time.
O’Hair may not have had the most glamorous start to his third round as he made two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine, but he shot up from tied 10th on the leaderboard at the beginning of the day to tied first due to his back nine, which consisted of four birdies. He lipped out coming back for a frustrating three-putt bogey. His tee shot on the 17th hole went so far left that the PGA Tour’s Shotlink application deemed it landing in the “unknown”.
Langley wasn’t surprised he couldn’t match his birdie bonanza of Thursday.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said in a Sunday newspaper interview that French and German presidents applied political pressure before the 2018 and 2022 World Cups were awarded to Russian Federation and Qatar, respectively.
When you can frequently find the middle of the fairway, finding the greens will be that much easier.
“I felt like I wasn’t that far away”, Woods has said.
