La Jolla, CA (My Sportsbook) - The sore knee looked steady, if only for a moment, and Tiger Woods took three hops as the ball rolled towards its destination at the bottom of the cup. It was only one of the greatest shots in a career highlighted by plenty of them. And he wasn't even finished. Woods holed a 70-foot downhill eagle putt with six feet of break at the U.S. Open on Saturday just as it looked like he had run out of magic moments. Three holes later his chip-shot from the rough bounced once, hit the flag stick and dropped into the cup for a birdie. Then, another eagle putt fell at the 18th hole and the third round at Torrey Pines had not one, not two, but three signature moments. The shots, all coming in his last six holes, helped Woods to a one-under 70 and the third-round lead at three-under 210. He will be seeking his 14th major championship and third U.S. Open title on Sunday. Lee Westwood also shot a 71 and was in second place at two-under 211, with Rocco Mediate (72) another shot further back at one-under 212. MORE TO FOLLOW. |
