AT&T National 2012: Tiger Woods One Back After Hot Third Round Start

Stay connected with SB Nation

As the weather in Bethesda, Md. has gotten hotter, so has the play of Tiger Woods. After shooting a +1 on Thursday when the mercury wasn't hitting triple digits, Tiger fired a three-under round on Friday and, through seven holes on Saturday, he's at -3 again after birdieing holes one, three and six.

Woods now finds himself just one stroke back of the AT&T National leaders Hunter Mahan and Brendan De Jonge, who each are sitting at six-under through five holes. Woods is in a four-way tie for third place with Jhonattan Vegas, Pat Perez, and Robert Garrigus. Woods holed a 45-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole yesterday, so it wouldn't be unexpected for him to continue to drop his score as the round goes on. A strong ending on Saturday would be a good sign that he's capable of bouncing back and winning tournaments after his epic U.S. Open collapse at Olympic.
