Tiger Woods keeps referring to the “process” as he tries to work
Tiger Woods keeps referring to the “process” as he tries to work his way back toward the top of golf.
Despite a setback Saturday at the Australian Open, it looks like progress.
With a one-shot lead going into the third round — his first time atop any leaderboard in nearly a year — Woods trudged off the 18th green at The Lakes with a 3-over 75 and found himself six shots behind John Senden.
Since his last win two years ago at the Australian Masters, Woods now has been in front three times.
And all three times, he failed to break par.
“I just got off to an awful start,” Woods said. “The round should have been an easy 71, no problem. I played the par 5s bad, I didn’t take care of 13. But if I take care of the par 5s and make a couple of putts, it’s a 1 or 2 under round. But I made nothing today.”
