The Golf Blog says: Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods shared and traded the lead all day. When the third round was over, Lee Westwood had a 2 shot lead at -3, with Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan at -1. Westy’s round was propelled by a hole-in eagle on 5.
Tiger didn’t make it into the final pairing because Hunter finished earlier. Tiger’s never won a major without sharing and having the lead after 54 holes. But there’s always a time for everything.
