Tiger Woods rides – looking at the British Open

Has made his best lap since 2006

CARNOUSTIE. Tiger Woods is back in The Open – and he means seriously.

After a phenomenal hectic day, he is in the lead.

He has undergone four (!) Surgeries on the back in the last years and ten years since his last victory, but Woods talked about being here to win. To take the 15th year of career

Now he gave himself the chance

A single bogey

After launching The Open with two rounds of pairing, he accelerated on Saturday and He rose to 66 battles, so five battles under normal.

His first and only bogey arrived at the 16th hole.

– There were two bad shots, he said.

Even the 18th and last hole was about to end badly; Woods missed the left turn and was decimetric from landing the ball directly into the water, but fortunately he bounced right and succeeded

He saved the pair – and has got ovations while he was rolling in the pit. the dirty weather vane of the tee and did not know if it landed in the water or in the strawberry. This rescue was huge. I really did not want to make bogeyys on the last hole, because I know that the others will be moving towards a dozen parities. I had to shoot low today to be on hand and I succeeded, Woods said afterwards.

Best since 2011

The scores (five under par) were its lowest in major contexts since the second round of the 2011 Masters and its lowest in The Open since the second round of 2006.

Climbing makes it blend in at the top.

– I have a chance to win. I was close earlier this year and showed that I have what it takes. Given what I've experienced in recent years, I did not know if I would still have the chance to do it, but now I'm here with the chance to have a Sunday in a major . It'll be fun, he says.
