Rory hits a superb shot out of the rough to 15 feet. V solid today from McIlroy.ġ1.36pm: That approach must have looked good to Tiger. Thomas follows him in to a similar distance. That's better.ġ1.41pm: Tiger has had plenty of chipping practice today and it shows on 14 and he sends his 3rd to 3 feet. Tiger waits for the wind to die down and knocks it in to 16 feet. Cagey putt.ġ1.47pm: Rory lets out a primeval roar as his tee shot at the par 3 14th comes up miles short. No boos as Rory chips in for a birdie (are you not entertained?). Control has been his biggest issue today.ġ1.56pm: JT stays -1 but, after being three under after 6, it has not been a good afternoon for the American.ġ1.53pm: Boos from the crowd as JT's chip on 14 finishes 10 feet shot. Distance is not a problem for the 47-year-old. Can't remember a hole when all three have found the green in regulation.ġ2.02am: Tiger finally hits his 4th fairway at 15. Rory is closest after finding the rough with his drive. Rory's 25 footer just drifts wide.ġ2.07am: Woods and JT had great positions off the tee at 15 but both the way off target with their approaches. Thomas has a similar distance but his putt is rapid. He's got 5 feet for birdie No 3.ġ2.10am: Huge backswing on Tiger's putt and he judges the 50 footer brilliantly. Rory doesn't challenge it, Thomas hit a classy one pin high and Tiger rolls back the years with a knockdown effort that makes a mockery of the tough pin. Just caught enough of the left edge.ġ2.16am: The pin at 16 looks vicious. It's downhill but he strokes it home to get back to level par. He is holding it together well here.ġ2.23am: JT lips out for his two but Tiger doesn't make the same mistake. The limp doesn't seem to get getting any worse. Eagle chance?ġ2.29am: Another fairway found at 17 and that sets up a good birdie opportunity at the 598-yard 17th for Tiger. so far in fact the crowd aren't in danger.ġ2.32am: Just 276 yards left for Tiger at 17. Should get it up and down for a birdie from there. His playing partners are much closer after excellent pitches.ġ2.36am: Tiger lands his 3 wood on the green but it was travelling and it comes to rest in the fringe. Just too tight at the back and he has 20 feet for successive birdies. Worth staying up for.ġ2.42am: Tiger can't get his 3rd anywhere near. He is under par again and that incredible smile is back. JT scampers one up into a good position and Rory follows Tiger up the right but can't get it past 'the old man'.ġ2.45am: The huge crowd at 17 are whooping and a hollering as Tiger rolls it in for a four. Never a bad sign and it's yet another long one from him. 12.50am: Tiger goes straight down for the tee peg at 18.
