Golf star Woods with a weak third round

At that time, the Wollo, who leads to two rounds, had not yet started the third round of the second major tournament of the year in the US state of Oklahoma.

Woods, who had already played with severe pain in his right leg on Friday, made too many failures on the third day - even a triple bogey had to note on his score card. The 15-time major winner even needed six strokes on the sixth margin, a par 3, almost 200 meter long par 3 to sink his ball in the hole.

It was noted that he still lacks competition practice after the long time of suffering. The day before, thanks to an energy performance and a round of 69 strokes, he qualified for the two crucial rounds at the weekend.

question mark behind Woods

It first left open whether Woods will start the final round on Sunday. "Well, I'm sore. This is a fact. We'll work something and see how it works," said the Californian after the round. For Woods it is only the second PGA tournament since his serious car accident in February 2021, where he had broken his right leg several times.

How high his performance can still be assessed shows that numerous other stars such as the most world ranking Scottie Scheffler (USA), Dustin Johnson (USA), Sergio Garcia (Spain) or Adam Scott (Australia) left prematurely after two rounds. The two German golf professionals Martin Kaymer and Alex Cejka had also clearly failed in Tulsa.
