Tiger with a third-round 68. Tied with McIlroy and Donald at -9. He shoots four under for the day and it looks as if he will lose ground on the leaders. Amazing.

I like red numbers, but not THIS red. Anytime a winner is around 20 under or more, the course is too easy, IMO.

Watson blasts driver, chips, putts, birdies. Rinse. Repeat.
Tiger was six back after one. Shoots 67-68. And could well be 9 or more back heading into the final round. Crazy.
Tiger spinning his wheel in the fourth round - five pars and then bogey-bogey.
Rory at -2 on the round.
Now stands McIlroy at -11 and Woods at -7.
Phil Mickelson finished at -3, a forgettable performance.
Luke Donald now lurking at -12.
Rose and Watson tied early at -16.
Watson bogies again and Keegan Bradley slips into a tie for first with Rose, Watson one stroke back.

Bradley drops a stroke.

TIGER WOODS WITHDRAWS?????
Yes, Woods has withdrawn. Unsure why yet.

Rory eagles 12. One stroke back now.
Update: Tiger Woods withdrew from the tournament with a left leg injury. No further details are available for Woods, who left the resort, but we'll keep you updated. Tiger drove the ball off 12 and then walked off the course. His only comment was 'left leg injury'.

Uh oh. An undisclosed "left leg" injury. That's not good. That's the same knee. I've thought for a while now the one thing most likely to keep him from returning to the top of the golf world would be that knee. It will be interesting to see what the reports wind up being, but this doesn't sound good.

Tiger is now saying he felt tightness in his left achilles while he was warming up and it got worse throughout the day and reached a peak on the 12th hole. He also said in the past he may have tried to play through it, but thought it was best to just withdraw to not make it worse (smart move). He's going to get it evaluated early in the week.
This is better than the knee, but he's also had recurring issues with the heel. He can't be encouraged about this. The Masters is only 4 weeks away.

Padraig with a course record 61. Yawn. Anyone getting tired of these super-low rounds? Someone de la Riva 64. Yawn. 5 66s. 5 67s. Plenty of red numbers still out on the course.Appleby -4 after 7. Garrigus -4 after 6. Bettencourt -4 after 5. And so on. And so on.
Par will get you a tie for 82nd at this point. This is one reason I feel like Tiger is just another guy on the tour. He shoots 67 and 68 last week in rounds 2 and 3 and you think, "Hey, he is back". But he isn't really. He is further behind the leader after that 67 and 68 than he was after round one. 67s and 68s aren't really getting you anywhere these days. Let's see what four 68s does for you this week.
19 players shot 67 or more. How we looking?

Par also got you cut this week on the PGA tour event.Definition: Par is the number of strokes an expert golfer is expected to need to complete an individual hole, or all the holes on a golf course.
Scores were higher on Friday at least. I think the winner this week will be around 16 under, which isn't too bad.

It is early and the leader in the clubhouse is Jimmy Walker at 3. Dy-no-mite! Scores seem a little lower in the first round so far. Tiger is at -3 through 17. Justin Rose, who seems to be shooting a lot of low rounds lately, is also at -3. Nick Whatney -4. Leader is Anthony Kim at -5 through 15. Quite a few players have yet to tee off or are still out on the course.
Just checked out Tiger's scorecard. His putts per green in regulation is 2.000. Just checking some of the other players that seems pretty high. Balky putter again it looks like.
