Tiger Woods shot a thrilling 3-under 69 on Thursday at the Hero World Challenge, and he's three back of leader Tommy Fleetwood (who shot a 6-under 66). Woods will play with Henrik Stenson (who shot a 2-under 70) in Round 2.
Big Cat tied playing partner Justin Thomas with that 69 on Thursday, and he looked pretty great doing it. Woods shot a 35 on the front nine and a 34 on the back. If he can replicate Thursday's score on Friday -- and I have no reason to think he can't -- then Woods could legitimately insert himself into the thick of this tournament.
