ATLANTA The start wasnt much to look at, but that finish was something else. Tiger Woods eagled the final hole on Thursday and shares the 18-hole lead at the Tour Championship. Here are the things you know you want to know: First of all, lets give a pat on the back to the man who most deserves it today: Me. Early this morning, I sent this tweet:
Less than an hour until tee time. Gotta good feeling about this week. Lets set the O/U today at 66.5 on the par 70. And then take the under. Tiger Tracker (@GCTigerTracker) September 20, 2018
Never doubt my good feelings. Ben Crenshaw doesnt have my good feelings. We may have 54 holes to play, but I gotta good feeling were going to be changing that Tiger Tracker avatar Sunday night. Now onto Tiger. After all, he did hit 10 of 14 fairways, 14 of 18 greens in regulation and took 28 putts. It wasnt looking good early when he had nine putts through four holes and was 1 over par. But he birdied Nos. 5 and 6, turned in 1 under, and really turned it on down the stretch with two birdies and an eagle over his final seven holes. And if you take a good look at the scorecard below youll notice he didnt make a bogey after the first hole.
How good is a 65 at East Lake? Better than his opening 62 at Aronimink, according to Woods: This was by far better than the 62 at Aronimink. Conditions were soft there. This is it's hard to get the ball closer. There's so much chase in it. If you drive the ball in the rough, you know you can't get the ball close.Woods added that you had to play conservatively and be patient take what the course allowed. Tiger missed five putts four of them for birdie inside 15 feet. But in the 93-degree heat, he kept his composure and made putts of 26 and 28 feet for birdie, and 28 feet for eagle. This week feels different. It feels like Tiger is really ready to win again. He seems very serious, very focused. He talked about getting the W on Wednesday and said on Thursday, [T]he objective is to always win.After shooting 65, Woods signed a few autographs and eventually made his way to the putting green. If he gets those 15-footers to fall, were going to be two wins away from tying Sammy. So, what about that eagle on 18, you ask? Tiger said he hammered a driver which was listed at 320 yards and then hit a 5-wood from 256 yards to 28 feet. As for the putt: It took forever for that putt to start breaking, grain coming down off the left. But once it snagged it, it was going straight right.
