According to the news, Tiger Woods moved into contention at The Barclays at Liberty National in New Jersey with a third-round 67 on Saturday. The American improved on his first two rounds of 72 and 70 to move to within five shots of compatriots Paul Goydos and Steve Marino at the top of the leaderboard. Consecutive birdies at the fifth, sixth and seventh holes set Woods up for an impressive round, and although he dropped a shot at the par-four 10th, two more birdies moved him onto four under for the tournament.
While Marino claimed he would not look over his shoulder for Woods, he told the official PGA Tour Web site. “You know, I’m sure he’s probably going to play pretty well tomorrow. He always seems to play well on Sundays. But I can’t control what he does. I can only control what I do and I feel like if I play well, being five ahead of him, I shouldn’t really have to worry about him.” Marino added.
Poulter also had to make do with a 70, ending his round in disappointing fashion with bogeys on the 16th and 18th, although he did birdie the 17th. Americans Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar were the other two players on four-under.
