Tiger slows down, gets company at the helm
BETHESDA, Maryland – Tournament host Tiger Woods survived a roller-coaster round with an even-par 70 Saturday to share the 54-hole lead with defending champion Anthony Kim at the AT&T National.
Kim turned birdie into bogey with an ugly three-putt on No. 9, but kept his cool in warm, blustery conditions for a 2-under 68.
The 24-year-old has never finished higher than Woods in a PGA Tour event, and this will be the first time they have been paired together in any round of any tournament.
“I’m excited to be there,” Kim said. “There’s not too many chances to play against the best in the world at his tournament. I would love to play great tomorrow.”
And what does he expect from Tiger?
“I expect he’s going to be wearing a red shirt and be out there ready to go,” Kim said.
Woods has a 44-3 record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead, although it took work to get there. He started with a one-shot lead over Rod Pampling, an advantage that was gone after one hole when Woods drove into the gallery and couldn’t reach the green out of the thick rough. (AP)
