World no. 1 Tiger Woods, seeking his eighth career victory at the World Golf Championships Brid-gestone Invitational, fired a two-under par 68 on Saturday to keep a seven-stroke lead after 54 holes.
One day after matching the low round of his career and the Firestone Country Club course record with a 61, Woods maintained the same gap he had opened on the field on Friday, with a three-round total of 15-under par 195.
Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the all-time record of 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, is in a commanding position to claim his fifth victory of the season and has sent a message that he is in top form entering next week’s PGA Championship, the final major event of the year.
Sweden’s Henrik Stenson fired a 67 to stand second on 202.
