After finishing in the top five of the month at Quicken Loans National, Tiger Woods is back this week looking for his first league win since US Open 2008.

14-time major champion is competing in the third major of golf, the Open Championship, this week at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland. Tiger opened the game Thursday with a par 71 and followed suit with another 71 on Friday.

Tiger played the Open in 2015, missing the cut and finishing 137th. His career at Carnoustie includes a T47 at the Scottish Open 1995, he missed the cup the following year, and then finished T7 at the 1999 Open and T12 at the Open 2007.

Tiger starts at 8:15 am with Shaun Norris. Then follow for the shot-by-shot badysis of his third round

Hole 6 – Par 5

Bea-utiful drive from Tiger on the # 6. He starts on the left and brings him back to the right, landing at the bottom of the fairway.

Hole 5 – Par 4

Push back the tee for Tiger and this one is in the fairway on the left side. His approach is good, not great, finding the green but not near the hole. He has 42 feet with a slope in his path, but there is not much pause. A bad read and mishit here, go long and right, leaving a little work to do to save by. He drops the putt to stay at 1-under thru 5 (1-under for the tournament).

Hole 4 – By 4

Tiger goes 3-wood here and crushes it just beside 300 meters. He hits the tee very early, which was his main problem yesterday. His approach to the back pin is fantastic, checking within 8 feet for a good birdie eye shot. No doubt about it! A sure blow and strong drops the birdie putt. 1-under thru 4 (1-under for the tournament)

Hole 3 – Par 4

Tiger paints the middle of the fairway with this one. No. 4 is a little shorter now, and to avoid some bunkers, he removed the iron from the bag. That's right, he just hit a 7-iron on the tee on a par 4. His approach finds the green, but he stays a certain distance, leaving about 30 feet for birdie. Tiger took this one for a ride over a slope and with a heavy break but just misses the hole. Another par. Even through 3 (Even for the tournament).

Hole 2 – Par 4

Tiger driver for Tiger and this one crushed 316 yards down the fairway. Flip wedge from there and Tiger enters it in 10 feet for a birdie chance. He did not have the right line because it just misses the right edge of the cup. Tap-in par. Even through 2 (Even for the tournament).

Hole 1 – Par 4

Push the tee back to # 1 for Tiger and he tapes it on the right side of the fairway, but the ball just sinks into the first rough cut. The tiger loses this one a long time and left in the rough rough. His chip is solid enough, finding the green with about 10 feet left to save the normal, and save by him. Even after 1 (Even for the tournament).

Update ranking: Zach Johnson and Kevin Kisner are still tied for the 6-under ranking, but Chris Wood ran. He has 6 holes under 14 holes and is 4 for the tournament. The best lap of the day, however, belongs to Justin Rose, whose under-64 player (a course record held by Tommy Fleetwood) also has him at 4 under and only two head shots [19659023] View Thumbs
