After struggling in his first round on Friday, Tiger Woods found his form on Saturday.
The 14-time major champion shot a 5-under 66 yesterday at the Dell Technologies Championship, the second event in golf's FedExCup Playoffs. He's now at 4-under for the tournament, entering the third round seven shots behind leader Webb Simpson.
Bryson DeChambeau entered the week atop the FedExCup standings, followed by Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Tony Finau and Brooks Koepka. Tiger is currently 25th.
In what could be a potential Ryder Cup pairing, Tiger tees off at 11:35 a.m. ET, alongside his good friend DeChambeau. Follow his third round shot-by-shot.
Hole 8 – Par 3
6-iron for Tiger on the par 3 and he's short and well left of the pin. He was waiting for the wind to cooperate and it, well, just didn't.
Leaderboard update: Webb Simpson holds the lead at 11-under par, followed by Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Rose at 10-under. DeChambeau is at 9-under with Xander Schauffele and Tommy Fleetwood.
Hole 7 – Par 5
The Big Cat takes the big stick again and finds another fairway. he crushed this one right down the middle and now he can go for this one in two. He's a long way from thehole after his approach shot, but it'll be an eagle putt. He couldn't really go for the pin here, it's on the left of short but wide green and guarded by bunkers. He played the safe shot while also being aggressive. He's got a good 70 feet left for this putt, and it's gonna have a lot of different breaks. He plays this one really well and gets to within four feet for birdie. He had almost no chance to make the eagle, so setting up a birdie was his best bet. (Insert Tiger roar here). He converts the birdie putt and drops to 3-under thru 7 (7-under for the tournament).
Hole 6 – Par 4
Tiger caught ahold of this one but he loses it to the left rough. From 168-yards out he finds the front part of the green. Not a bad shot given his lie. Nothing really to see here, two-putt par. 2-under thru 6 (6-under for the tournament).
Hole 5 – Par 4
Tiger crushed his drive down the right side of the fairway and his approach from there was just as good. This one nestles up within three feet of the pin and he's got a sure-fire birdie waiting. He taps in for birdie and drops to 2-under thru 5 (6-under for the tournament).
Hole 4 – Par 4
Tiger's 3-wood on this driveable par 4 is right at the green but it just can't climb up the hill onto the green. He's just off the green with the ability to putt, chip or flop this one up close to the pin. He chips this one into the slope and tries to let it just run up to the hole, but it checks up a little bit too much. He's got another good birdie chance here. From seven feet out Tiger hit this with a lot of pace and he clips the right edge and misses. Disappointing par. 1-under thru 4 (5-under for the tournament).
Hole 3 – Par 3
Tiger's tee shot here on No. 3 is on the green, but nowhere near the hole. This one actually rolled off the green, and Tiger's forced to chip from there. He cozies this one right near the hole and converts the up-and-down par save. 1-under thru 3 (5-under for the tournament).
Hole 2 – Par 5
Tiger pulls driver here and this one is way left. This par 5 is reachable in two, but not from there. Tiger lays up from here and he's back in the fairway. Tiger's approach is pretty solid, coming to rest about 14 feet from the hole. His putt shouldn't have too much movement, and it didn't. He drills the birdie putt and moves to 1-under thru 2 (5-under for the tournament).
Hole 1 – Par 4
And we're off. Iron off the tee here on No. 1 for Tiger and this one finds the left rough. His second shot had a rough angle at the green, with the pin in the front left of the gree and guarded by a massive bunker. He plays this one towards the front of the green, but doesn't quite carry enough. He's on the fringe/fairway cut, but it's not too far from the hole. Should be par at the worst. From 14 yards away he goes with putter here but this one takes off and gets away from him. With five feet left for par, Tiger rolls it in. Even thru 1 (4-under for the tournament).
