Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. This isn’t a drill. For the first time in years, Tiger Woods will tee off late on a Sunday tomorrow at a major championship. A sterling 5-under-par 66 has Big Cat squarely in contention heading to the final day of the tournament
This is not a drill. Tiger Woods will have a chance to win The Open on Sunday.
An aggressive, brilliantly executed 66 will give Big Cat a late Sunday tee time, and should have him start well within striking distance to win his first major since 2008.


After an opening 33 on the front nine, Tiger made three birdies on the back nine to equal a group of six players — Zach Johnson, Kevin Kisner, Jordan Spieth, Kevin Chappell, and Tommy Fleetwood — atop The Open Championship leaderboard at the time. This two-putt birdie on the par-5 14th brought him atop the championship during the mid-part of the round.
Cat absolutely blistered the back nine. After a really good front nine, he’s been vintage on the back. Stuffed it to inches on 10, rolled in another birdie at 11, and then nearly made unlikely birds at 12 and 13 — which aren’t places to get aggressive with today’s pin placements. He eventually gave one back on the 17th, with his tee shot on the par-3 getting a rather unfortunate break and rolling off into a side-green swale. That evened out on 18, with Tiger narrowly avoiding Berry Burn with a miserable 2-iron off the tee but recovering to make par and keep his momentum rolling into Sunday.
Kevin Kisner and Zach Johnson currently sit at 8-under par with the lead, and you can safely assume one of the leaders will likely out to around 10-under-par, something Tiger told Steve Sands he accounted with his aggressive approach today after the round. Getting to five or six under was his goal to put himself within striking distance on Sunday. Barring something unforseen on the tougher back nine from Kisner or Johnson, there’s no question Tiger will have a chance tomorrow.
