GOLF: PGA: Woods in front after stunning finish

/noticias.info/ Tiger Woods produced a superb finish to his third round on Saturday to take the lead of the US Open ahead of Lee Westwood.

The world number one played the final two holes of his third round in three-under-par, carding an eagle at the par-five 18th to take a one-stroke lead at Torrey Pines.

It means Woods is in great shape to win his third US Open and 14th major championship.

Westwood finished two groups ahead of Woods after carding a 70 and, at two-under 211, he was alone in the lead at the time. However, Woods chipped in from the rough at 17, his ball taking one bounce before gently glancing the flagstick and dropping into the cup.

And on 18, Woods split the fairway and launched his second shot onto the green with a fairway wood, grimacing in pain after the shot. It didn't affect him on his putt, as he dropped a 35-footer that was never headed anywhere but the hole. notas_de_prensa_archivo
