MIAMI, Florida: Tiger Woods had the crowd roaring, but rookie Corey Conners held his nerve to stay one stroke ahead of the former world number one after three rounds of the Valspar Championship.
Woods, playing his fourth US PGA Tour event since returning in January from spinal fusion surgery last April, fired a four-under par 67 that left him tied for second on eight-under 205 alongside former US Open champion Justin Rose of England and American Brandt Snedeker.
They’re chasing Conners, who carded a 68 for 204 to maintain the lead he has held since the first round.But once again Woods was the center of attention, and after years of battling injury he gave his fans what they wanted to see.
“The environment was incredible,” Woods said of the boisterous gallery that followed him. “People were into it... it’s been incredible.”“I’ve played myself right there into contention, so it should be a fun Sunday,” said the 14-time major champion, who is chasing an 80th US PGA Tour title.
