The Masters leaderboard is finally awash with some of golf’s biggest names, with the biggest one of all sitting just two back of the leader.
Tiger Woods made six birdies and just one bogey Saturday to shoot a five-under 67 and vault himself into a tie for second place with Tony Finau at –11, trailing only leader Francseco Molinari.
Tiger began the day with four consecutive pars before dropping a stroke at the par-4 fifth, a hole that’s given him trouble all week. He hit into the left fairway bunker for the third consecutive round off the tee, and also failed to make par for the third straight day.
But that would mark the low point of Tiger’s round, as the four-time Masters champion would bounce back with back-to-back-to-back birdies on Nos. 6, 7, 8.

Tiger’s performance at Augusta has gotten better as the week has progressed, shooting a two-under 70 on Thursday before firing a four-under 68 on Friday.
With the Masters moving up its final round tee times due to inclement weather, Woods will likely tee off at 9:20 a.m. Sunday.
