TIGER QUIETLY STAYS ON COURSE FOR MAJOR NO15.

Tiger Woods had a very quiet day on the HAZELTINE NATIONAL golf course yesterday to shoot a one under par 71 and hold a 2 shot advantage going into the final round of the 91ST PGA CHAMPIONSHIP on 8 under par.
He started the day with a 4 shot lead and after a two birdie,one bogey round of 71 his lead is down to 2.He is being chased by defending champion,Padraig Harrington(69) and Honda Classic winner Y.E Yang(67)on -6.
There is another 2 shot gap to US Open winner Lucas Glover and Henrik Stenson who had a solid round of 68 to sit on -4.

I believe that Tiger has had his bad day over him and he will come out today with "all guns blazing".He has never lost a Major with a lead going into the final round and even though,i am delighted to see Harrington back to his brilliant best,i don't feel he has enough in his bag to beat Tiger by 3 shots today.Yang has never been in this position in a major before and he will be playing with Tiger.

20 year old Rory McIlroy is in joint 13th place on one under par.He has shown that he is Major class as he has run up 12 birdies this week,the same as Tiger,but it is the 9 bogies and a careless double bogey at the par 3,17th in the second round that has stopped him from chasing the title.
Graeme McDowell is one shot back from McIlroy on par after a bogey at the 18th for a 71,leaves him in joint 18th heading into the final round.
