Tiger Woods holes out from bunker to drain 4th birdie in 5 holes

This is supposed to be conference championship Saturday in college football, but, uh, Tiger Woods is doing things down in the Bahamas.

After shooting a 7-under 65 on Friday, his lowest score in three years, Tiger has come back on Saturday and birdied four of his first five holes. The fourth came on a classic Tiger hole-out from a bunker.

Maybe the biggest question mark about Tiger’s bag coming into this week was the short game. After a 466-day layoff, everything is kind of a question mark but those wedges threatened to end his career in 2015, separate and apart from the back injuries.

So far, Woods’ wedges have been on point through two-plus rounds. There was one chunk at No. 9 on Thursday, but aside from that, he’s been close to perfect. His third birdie in his first three holes came via another excellent chip shot.

With the four birdies in his first five holes, Tiger is now 10-under for the tournament and tied for 5th place. That’s a pretty quick turnaround from his last place start about 24 hours ago.
