Tiger Claws His Way Back Into Palmer  

Posted Mar 15, 08 8:03 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(newser) – Tiger Woods uttered eight words today that every other player on the PGA Tour dreads hearing heading into the final round of an event: "I've played my way back into the tournament." Woods' 4-under 66 in third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational allowed him to grab a piece of the five-way tie at the top, reports the Associated Press. Woods has won Palmer's tourney four times previously.

Woods is at 6-under 204, tied with Sean O'Hair (63) Bart Bryant (68), Bubba Watson (68) and Vijay Singh, whose 73 made tomorrow's final round at Bay Hill a shootout. They aren't the only ones in contention, either, as 16 players are within three shots at the top. Woods is 42-3 when at least tied after 54 holes, but he has never been tied with more than one player.
