As the birdies continued to fall for the field Saturday at Augusta National, Tiger Woods finally found some momentum late on the first nine.
After a bogey at the par-4 fifth hole, Woods birdied the par-3 sixth, par-4 seventh and par-5 eighth holes to close the gap between himself and the Masters leaders.
First, Woods sank an 18-foot birdie putt at No. 6.
And then he stuck his approach at No. 7 and tapped in his second straight birdie.
Woods' third straight birdie came on a two-putt from 13 feet.
Woods was 8 under as he headed to the par-4 ninth, one shot off the lead.
