The Open Championship 2018: Tiger Woods Makes Birdie at No. 6 (Video)
After Saturday’s action that saw many players making eagles and birdies at The Open Championship, Sunday’s weather became windier and caused issues for many players. However, Tiger Woods was not one of them as he’s the only player playing under par in the final round. He found the green in two on the par-five sixth and capitalized on the opportunity.

Tiger’s birdie moved him to -7 for the event and -2 for the day. He moved to two-back with the impressive birdie but quickly moved to only one stroke back after the leaders bogeyed to fall down to -8. Interestingly enough, Tiger’s Round 4 day has started the same has his third round action through six holes. On Saturday Woods shot a 66 to move up the leaderboard to -5 after playing even par through the first two rounds.

Unlike many players on the course today, Tiger Woods is in a groove. The Tiger of old is back and it appears that he is not limited by any injury related issues on Sunday. His putting has been on point and his approach shots have given makeable shots on the green.
The Open Championship leaderboard is close. After being t-32 following the first round, the golf legend is in the lead as the wind gusts have been the highest they have this week. He missed a long birdie putt on the seventh hole that would have had the crowd roaring if it fell. However, Woods smartly placed the putt tight and ended up close to the hole. On the eighth hole, Woods found the bunker but got up and down for the par save.
