Tiger Woods in Contention with Strong 3rd Round at 2019 Hero World Classic

Tiger Woods put himself within striking distance of a win Friday at the Hero World Challenge at Albany Golf Course in New Providence, Bahamas, as he fired a five-under 67 in the third round.

Upon entering the clubhouse, Woods found himself in a tie for third place with a score of 11 under for the tournament, just one shot behind leaders Henrik Stenson and Patrick Reed.

Since struggling to an even-par 72 in the opening round, Woods has been red hot at the Hero World Challenge. He shot a six-under 66 in the second round and followed that up Friday with a round that included six birdies and just one bogey.
