It's Sunday at Jack Nicklaus' the Memorial Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, and Tiger Woods is in contention.
After strong rounds on Friday (5-under) and Saturday (4-under), the 14-time major camp and winner of 79 PGA Tour titles begins the day just five shots behind leader Bryson DeChambeau (14-under) and even briefly held the lead on Saturday.
Due to weather concerns, the Tour decided to move up tee times in an attempt to avoid inclement weather. Tiger tees off at 9:10 a.m. ET alongside Whee Kim and J.B. Holmes.
Follow along here as we track his final round, shot-by-shot.
Hole 7 - Par 5
Tiger's got another chance to reach a par 5 in two shots after his drive finds the fairway down the right side on No. 7.
Hole 6 - Par 4
He's been smoking his 3-wood all day, but decides to pull driver on No. 6. He found the bunker and his second shot is just off the green in the thick rough. His chip runs past the cup and he comes right back with a clutch par put. 2-under thru 6 (11-under for the tournament).
Hole 5 - Par 5
Tiger liked this 3-wood off the tee, and even though it found the first-cut rough, he's got a chance to get there in two. He hits a useful approach here and avoids a tree, leaving about 40-some feet for eagle. He looked at this one from just about every angle but comes up short, leaving a short putt for birdie. 2-under thru 5 (11-under for the tournament).
Leaderboard update: It's crowded at the top as 19-year-old Joaquin Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay and Kyle Stanley are all tied for first at 14-under par. Justin Rose is in fifth at 12-under while Tom Hoge and Tiger are T6 at 11-under.
Hole 4 - Par 3
Tiger finds the greenside bunker off the tee on No. 4. There's not a lot of green to work with here, but Tiger puts this one within a foot to get up-and-down for par. 1-under thru 4 (10-under for the tournament).
Hole 3 - Par 4
Iron here off the tee from Tiger and he blasted it. He's got a short wedge for the approach and it's a beauty, leaving another look for birdie. The putt had some left-to-right break, just not as much as Tiger thought. Two-putt par. 1-under thru 3 (10-under for the tournament).
Hole 2 - Par 4
Wow. Tiger bombed his 3-wood down the fairway and got a nice little roll. He's in the fairway again, 326-yards off the tee. His approach finds the green but he's got some work to do from there. The birdie putt just misses and he taps-in for par. 1-under thru 2 (10-under for the tournament).
Hole 1 - Par 4
Going for his first win on the PGA Tour since making his most-recent comeback, Tiger begins his Sunday round in his signature red shirt with a beautiful tee shot that finds the fairway. From 155-yards out, Tiger sticks his approach around 12-feet from the cup and has a look at birdie on No. 1. Bang! He drops the putt for birdie. 1-under thru 1 (10-under for the tournament).
