• Woods takes three-shot lead into Tour Championship finale
• Rose and McIlroy leading the charge from the 30-man field
The moment the golf world has been waiting for – not long after it collectively doubted it could ever happen – is tantalisingly close. Tiger Woods, seeking a first win for five years after waves of personal and professional turmoil, will take a three-shot lead into the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake. Woods’s 80th PGA Tour success, if it comes, will unquestionably be his most significant.
Woods’s 12-under-par aggregate sees Justin Rose and a resurgent Rory McIlroy as his closest challengers. A Saturday 65 for Woods was the lowest in the 30-man field. More significant is his position at the head of affairs; history tells us Woods does not slip up from here. In the present, however, he has the pressure attached to looking to secure such a long-awaited success.
