Woods is 13-for-13 when he comes into the test ammo of a field with at small a deal of the lead. He grabbed the advance Sat with a scintillating backwards nine, approaching by making a 30-foot raptor swing that place him digit effort aweigh of Westwood and digit in face of Mediate.

But the world’s crowning contestant forfeited the advance as presently as he took to the course, touch his prototypal nog effort into the mitt rough, meet as he had in the ordinal ammo Sat and in the inaugural ammo Thursday.
