Tiger Woods nearly posted an albatross while shooting one of the lowest third-round scores at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, California, on Saturday where he will head into the final-round 12 shots back of leader Jon Rahm.
"The way the golf course is playing, as fast as it is, a flat cut can go a very long way here, so I've been able to hit that shot. Then with the firm greens, I thoroughly enjoy that for my iron game, and finally made some putts."
But Woods put on a ball-striking display during a round that included one eagle, three birdies and a bogey. It was also his lowest score since he returned to action after his car accident. The 15-times major champion delighted the gallery at the 509-yard, par-five first hole with a near albatross when his second shot from 190 yards settled three feet from the cup to set up a tap-in eagle.
When asked if this week's performance might convince him to play another event ahead of the April 6-9 Masters Woods, who admitted to feeling a "bit on the sore side" after the third round, did not rule out the possibility.
