Tiger Woods, who almost became an albatross, hit 4 under par for the first time after a car accident
Tiger Woods (USA), the emperor of golf, jumped to 26th in the third round of the Genesis Invitational with an eagle that almost became an albatross.

After finishing the second round the previous day, Woods was likely to pass the cut, but the game was stopped due to sunset, so he waited for the rest of the day before starting the third round.
It is the first time in nine months that Woods succeeded in passing the cut in a PGA Tour event since last year’s PGA Championship (May). He crossed the cut for a tie for 53rd at the time, but withdrew due to deteriorating fitness after three rounds. Woods, who was eliminated from the cut at the 150th The Open Championship (July), will challenge to complete the race for the first time since the Masters Tournament (47th place) in April of last year.
It is the first time Woods has hit 4 under par in a round since a car accident in February 2021. After hitting 4 under par 68 in the first round of the 2020 Masters Tournament (tied for 38th) held in November in the aftermath of the Corona 19 pandemic, Woods reduced 4 strokes a day in 2 years and 3 months. Woods miraculously returned and scored in the 60s only once in the second round of the PGA Championship (3 under par 69) out of the three tournaments he played last year.

On this day, Sarina Wigman, the head coach of the British women’s soccer team, joined the criticism.
