AKRON, Ohio – Tiger Woods didn’t have a good warm-up session before his third round at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, couldn’t turn it around on the course and couldn’t get any putts to drop. It all added up to his worst Saturday on the PGA Tour this season:
• Tiger began Saturday’s round with the lowest third-round scoring average on Tour but ballooned to a 73 that dropped him out of contention. His 3-over card was his first over-par round in a third round this season.
• Despite a steady drumbeat of concern over Tiger’s health on Saturday, from the announcers in the CBS Sports booth to social media, he left no room for ambiguity when asked if he was OK.
