Tiger Tracker @GCTigerTrackerAwesome shot. Terrific.
Ron Kroichick @ronkroichickTiger Woods simply had a Willie Mays-with-the-Mets moment, chunking a chip shot from the rough into the bunker. Type of difficult to enjoy. Woods actually playing well today, 3-under for his round (on No. 16).
After 3 straight pars, he birdied Nos. 4 and 5 to return to even for the week. One featured an uncommon sand conserve at this event, while the other had an excellent technique from the rough:.
Doug Ferguson @dougferguson405Breaking news: Tiger got up-and-down from a bunker for the very first time today. (Sorry, thats all I have at this hour).
LFG… 2 holes later on, Woods continued his momentum with a birdie to transfer to three under for the day:.
PGA TOUR @PGATOURBack in the red.

@TigerWoods grabs his third birdie of the day to move to 1-under on the week.
Bob Harig @BobHarigThe kind of shot that has actually afflicted Tiger … missing out on a green from 125 backyards … Or not hitting it really close. Thats been a concern beyond this week.
Was right off the tee and raises a wedge directly in the air and lands like a feather. Going to have inside 5 feet it appears like.
It lastly overtook him with a bogey on 18, but he still discovered a way to wind up 3 strokes under par in the final round.
This was simply the 2nd official event for Woods because the PGA Tours restart, with both producing comparable results. In the Memorial Tournament and PGA Championship, he was excellent enough to make the cut however seldom in contention, leaving fans desiring more.
He was at least better off the tee Sunday as he hit 9 of 14 fairways, while his 1.157 strokes gained around the green was his finest of the week, per PGATour.com.
The 44-year-old now needs to put everything together with 2 more majors still on the schedule in this reorganized 2020 season.
The back nine wasnt constantly smooth, but he knew how to rush and avoid bogeys. His misses just resulted in pars, while he included birdies on the 14th and 17th holes thanks to excellent work with his irons..
Naturally, not all of his shots were working Sunday or throughout the week:.
Ryan Wing @RyanWingFOX11I understand Tigers putting hasnt been fantastic this week, however his irons havent been very crisp either, save a couple actually great ones.
Tiger Woods ended his run at the PGA Championship on a high note after shooting 67 in Round 4..

Bob Harig @BobHarig #Tiger has actually taken some huge rips with the chauffeur today … Despite the cool and often cold temperatures all week, back tightness has not been a problem. Its one favorable takeaway for him. Ron Kroichick @ronkroichickTiger Woods just had a Willie Mays-with-the-Mets moment, chunking a chip shot from the rough into the bunker. Kind of hard to watch. Woods really playing well today, 3-under for his round (on No. 16).
The super star was over par in each of his previous 2 rounds to fall out of contention in the very first significant tournament of the year, but the final round at TPC Harding Park saw a lot of improvement. With 5 birdies and 2 bogeys in Sundays round, Woods completed one stroke under par for the tournament.
It was still not enough to take on the competitors in San Francisco, as he sat in a tie for 41st when he got in the clubhouse.
In spite of beginning the day 11 strokes off the lead, Woods began the round along with he could have hoped.
Even after a bogey on the eighth hole, a rating of 33 on the front nine was extremely encouraging.
Possibly most notably, he was still looking healthy in his fourth straight day of action:.
