Woods was three shots behind and finding more shade in the trees than
sunshine on the fairways, but he fired off three straight birdies, the last one
an approach from 205 yards into 3 feet to catch Daly at 10 under.
Daly responded by chipping in from 55 feet across the 13th green for birdie.
In the group ahead, Woods went from rough-to-rough on the 14th and couldn't
recover, making bogey to fall two behind, and Daly again had control.
Daly being Daly, it wasn't that simple.
He had a two-shot lead with three holes to play when Woods hit a wedge that
stopped 4 feet away for birdie on the 16th, and Daly three-putted the 17th.
For all his length, a short putt cost him the lead.
Another one cost him the tournament.
