Buick Open, giving him a 17-under 199 total and a one-stroke lead when Michael Letzig (68) double bogeyed the last hole. "The whole idea of the game is put the ball in the hole, and I did that," Woods said. "But as far as controlling my ball, I didn't do that." Woods opened his first tournament since missing the cut at the
British Open with a 71 after what he said was probably his worst
putting day.
Tiger Woods drove on adjacent fairways twice on the back nine, hit a
cup of
beer in a spectator's hand, got rattled by a bug and was relegated to shaping some shots around trees and under branches. When he was eight shots behind first-round leader
Steve Lowery, Woods said he couldn't make up ground in one day at
Warwick Hills. Woods roared back into contention with a 9-under 63 in the second round and took the lead with his 65 Saturday.
"Eight back, at a U.S. Open, you can make that up in one round," he said. "You can't make it up around here." He moved into a tie for the lead with Letzig at 17 under with a 33-foot birdie putt at No. 17. Woods pumped his fist, shouted "Yeah!" and the traditionally rowdy gallery roared so loud he couldn't communicate with
caddie Steve Williams. "It was pretty exciting," said Woods, making his ninth Buick Open appearance. "The people here have been absolutely incredible, so supportive of this event over the years. That's one of the reasons why we love coming here."
