Woods grabs share of Wyndham lead

“I know what I needed to do this week and I feel like I’ve been playing good for the past two months, so it’s nice to get rewarded for it”, Blixt told Sky Sports 4. He’s at No. 135 on the points list and No. 147 on the money list, and said he’d be “very pleased if I secured my job”. “Greensboro has always been good to me”.

“I need to go out there tomorrow and make a run and get myself up there and make some birdies”, said Woods. Blixt is tied with Woods at 13-under, but got there first so will be in the final pairing with Gore.

After going 46 holes without a bogey, the 18-year-old Ko hit her approach on the par-four 18th near the face of the right-side bunker, blasted out to 10 feet and missed the putt.

Woods, 39, needs a win here qualify for the lucrtative FedExCup playoffs that start next week.

“I’ve shot 59 and I left a pair photographs on the market”, Woods stated.

Woods’ mid- and long-range putting wasn’t as deadly as the first two days, while his makes inside 10 feet were more often for par saves than cashing in birdie chances. This is his 27th career PGA Tour event — and all but one of those have come this year.

“It was a grind today”, Woods said.

In barely 10 years, Tiger Woods will be too, if he is interested.

Jack Nicklaus (1961), Phil Mickelson (1990), Tiger Woods (1996) and Ryan Moore (2004) are the only players to sweep the NCAA and Amateur titles in a season.

Record crowds have been on hand as Woods attempts to put a positive spin on a season that has been disappointing. And during that time, one never counted out Woods. They’ll play together Saturday, an unknown and the player who still hopes to be the best again, and is finally showing signs it might not be impossible. The people are so nice and supportive. “Then we have such a great relationship with GTCC and they were in class during the week, but now on the weekend so we chose to pull that into play”.

A stiff and sore Woods, the overnight co-leader, arrived at Sedgefield Country Club about three hours before his round to receive treatment on an undisclosed ailment. Brown recovered nicely from a front nine that saw two birdies erased by a pair of bogeys by birdieing four of his final nine holes.

Hoge, who held a share of the lead after Thursday’s first round, has played 79 rounds on the tour – the same number of tour victories that belong to Woods. And the field is so close than more than a dozen golfers could capture the win. His chip back idled short of the green and he had to scramble for bogey. Woods caught him by rolling in a 5-foot birdie putt on the fifth before Gore shot past them both.
