POTOMAC, Md. — The cheers were so loud for Tiger Woods that no one could hear the starter announce the name of the other golfer in the pairing, Joel Dahmen, when it was his turn to hit.
And then it got even rowdier Saturday at the Quicken Loans National with each putt Woods made — 12 feet for par, four in a row for birdie, a 25-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole to head to the back nine just two shots out of the lead.
Abraham Ancer heard it all in the group ahead, and it carried him into a share of the 54-hole lead.
