Arnold Palmer Invitational 2011 Leaderboard Update: Martin Laird Keeps Lead, Tiger Woods Fades Again
Laird, in search of his second career PGA Tour win, shot a respectable 2-under for the day. He struggled late with back-to-back bogeys on the 14th and 15th hole, but still holds a two-stroke lead over the rest of the field at 11-under for the tournament.
Laird is trailed by Spencer Levin, who also had trouble on the back nine with back-to-back bogeys. Levin is in search of the third PGA Tour win of his career. After a strong Round 3 that included an eagle on the 6th hole, Bubba Watson has moved into a tie for third, four strokes behind the lead.
Tiger Woods, a noted golf enthusiast, experienced yet another third-round slump. He endured a 2-over day on Saturday in typical up-and-down fashion -- he sandwiched an eagle between two bogeys, while committing a double bogey on the back nine. He now sits at 1-under, a full 10 strokes behind the lead.
