shot the round of the day with a 67 to move into a tie for 14th despite opening the championship with a 79, and his scorecard that week was 79-67-71-67. Tiger Woods
switched back to his old putter, and he putted better than the last 2 days, but poor ball striking left him with a 72. Phil Mickelson
made a charge earlier in his round, 2 under par in his round thru 5 holes, but poor putting led to him playing the rest of his round 5 over par for a 75. Rory McIlroy
bounced back well from his 80 on Friday and ended up tied for 3rd place.
