Charley Hoffman builds five-shot lead in the Bahamas, Tiger Woods fades after 75Charley Hoffman builds five-shot lead in the Bahamas, Tiger Woods fades after 75
ALBANY, Bahamas — Charley Hoffman handled the blustery conditions with a 2-under 70 for a five-shot lead in the Hero World Challenge as Tiger Woods fell 10 shots behind. The wind was the strongest it has been all week at Albany Golf Club, and it took the air out of hopes that Woods’ return to competition would find him in the mix at his holiday tournament. Instead, Woods shot 40 on the front nine, didn’t make a birdie until the 14th hole and wound up with a 75. Hoffman overcame a double bogey from a wild tee shot on No. 10 by closing with three birdies over his last five holes. His 70 matched the best round of the day, and only three other players broke par. Hoffman was at 14-under 202.
Tiger Woods struggles early, cards 75 in Round 3 of Hero World ChallengeTiger Woods struggles early, cards 75 in Round 3 of Hero World Challenge
The surprising, impressive play by Tiger Woods in his return to competition gave way to reality Saturday as he played and looked more like a golfer who has been away for considerable time. Woods struggled in the blustery Bahamas conditions at Albany Golf Club, failing to make a birdie until the 14th hole and falling well out of contention during the third round of the Hero World Challenge. Playing for the first time since undergoing spinal fusion surgery in April, the 41-year-old Woods blasted drives and sank putts during the first two rounds, only to struggle with all aspects during the third. Woods hit just two greens in regulation through 11 holes, the result of missed fairways and misjudged shots in the wind.
