One birdie against two bogeys across his final nine holes put Woods' birdie total at 14 for the week. However, for the third straight day, Woods signed for an over-par score on the back nine at Albany Golf Club.
His 141 over the last two days marks the first time he has gone under par in consecutive rounds since the first and second rounds of the 2020 Masters played in November. Getting off to a slow start with bogeys on the first two holes, Woods battled back with flashes of vintage iron play and an exquisite short-game effort to sign for a 1-under 71. He enters Sunday's final round even for the tournament after rounds of 75-70-71, and he's double-digit strokes away from the top of the leaderboard. Tiger Woods experienced a mixed bag in his third round at the 2023 Hero World Challenge but found himself in red figures for the second straight day.
