Tiger Woods at Wyndham Championship 2015: Sunday’s Live Leaderboard Updates
Woods’ five-foot par putt on the final hole rolled around the lip of the cup and did a 180-degree turn, spoiling his chance at a bogey-free round.
“I felt very steady from the word ‘go,”‘ Woods said.
Woods’ day was about consistently making pars – 15, including a remarkable save on the 10th with a 24-foot putt. I couldn’t if I wanted to, really. He was certainly excited about his own performance and went on to say, “It was a grind today”. I took a few runs at putts and ripped them past the hole. I was hitting them pretty close all day.
Jonas Blixt and Scott Brown joined Woods at 13-under. Elsewhere, there are five players on -12 and three strokes off the pace, with Webb Simpson, Jim Herman, Paul Casey, Cameron Percy and Brandt Snedeker all hoping for a fast start on Sunday. Woods said he had waited to see how his tired frame had reacted to the rigors of last week’s PGA disappointment.
Tiger Woods couldn’t have asked for much more at his first Wyndham Championship.
With a single revolution of a golf ball around the 18th hole, Tiger Woods fell out of the final pairing and was left with a third round, 2-under par 68. It was a crucial moment in the round, and Woods confidently drained the putt to keep the momentum going.
Woods attracted massive crowds as he moved from the putting green to the driving range, and will have by far the biggest following during the final round.
It was the only blemish on the overnight leader’s third-round card, as Woods posted birdies on the first, fifth and 16th holes. A victory at the Wyndham could be the only way he gets in though there is a scenario where if he finishes in second place by himself he could make the playoffs.
“I’m not looking at it that way, you know me,” Woods said. He took advantage of some prime scoring conditions during the first round, shooting that 64 on a course softened by showers that morning.
Gore has one victory in 19 years on the Tour, that coming a decade ago in the 84 Lumber Classic. He has only 15 top-10 finishes in the past decade. “Contrary to popular belief,” Gore quipped, “I’m still a good golfer”.
The 39-year-old was joint leader at the halfway stage in his quest for a first title since the 2013 WGC Bridgestone. Couples, trying to win his hometown event for the first time, was tied for second with Billy Andrade, Carlos Franco, Jeff Freeman and Chien Soon Lu.
The 34-year-old Kung birdied four of her final six holes to fire a bogey-free eight-under 64 to reach 11-under 133 and seize a two-shot lead over Kiwi Ko and France’s Icher on Friday. Alison Lee was third at 10-under after a 66. This year marks the 76th annual Wyndham Championship.
