Strong start by Rory McIlroy as Tiger Woods makes final flourish at Riviera (via IrishTimesSport)
Victory for McIlroy would see him overhaul the American regardless of the latter’s result, while outright third place would be good enough for the Northern Irishman unless Scheffler finishes in the top 25 or Jon Rahm wins or is outright second.
“I happened to actually hit some good shots finally and made a couple of putts,” Woods said. “Even though I had a little mishap at 10, I was able to fight back and get it going. It was a nice finish.”“There’s nothing like come game time just the feeling of the butterflies and trying to calm all that stuff down,” he said.Woods admitted it was “a lot louder” than he expected, and he didn’t have time to bask in the fans affection as he tried to put together a solid round.
