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.

Woods scored 4 under par 67 with 1 eagle, 3 birdies and 1 bogey in the 3rd round of the PGA Tour Genesis Invitational held at Riviera CC (par 71, 7322 yards) in Pacific Palisades, California on the 19th. and recorded a total of 3 under par 210 strokes over the three days.

Up until the second round,카지노사이트 Woods scored a total of 1 over par 143 (tied for 58th) and succeeded in advancing to the third round with a pull-up, raising his ranking by 32 notches from the previous day and expressing his hopes for the final round. 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.

In the third round, Woods made a 4.5m birdie putt on the first hole, the 10th hole (par 4), and then succeeded in putting a 7m birdie putt from the fringe on the 14th hole (par 3), reducing 2 strokes in the first half. In the first hole of the second half, hole 1 (par 5), the tee shot fell into the right rough, but with a 5-iron shot leaving 190 yards, he lightly caught the eagle by sticking it 90cm next to the hole. If the ball that passed through the hole had bent a little further to the right, it would have been an albatross. Woods added a birdie in hole 5 (par 4) and reduced it to 5 strokes, but committed a bogey in hole 7 (par 4) and finished the round.

Woods said, “I’m still not in good shape, but I’ll try to get closer to the lead tomorrow. He is far from the lead, but no one knows the outcome.”

Meanwhile, the criticism of Woods’ sanitary napkin prank continued on this day. On the first day of the tournament, Woods hit a tee shot farther than Justin Thomas (USA) on the ninth hole, and then played a prank on his junior by handing him a sanitary pad, drawing criticism. USA Today columnist Christine Brennan criticized, “I teased Thomas for beating him like a girl, but as a father of a 15-year-old daughter, it was a very inappropriate act.” I apologized. On this day, Sarina Wigman, the head coach of the British women’s soccer team, joined the criticism.
