It should be Woods now...
Another superb round by Tiger has put him into poll position to win the US Open.
Two eagles coming in gives him a one shot lead over our own Lee Westwood with just 18 holes left to play....
Thank god Woods has got knee trouble otherwise this would have been over and we would have nothing to watch just a Woods stroll round to take the trophy.
But there are still some big names lurking and a few mistakes from the greatest golfer ever and these guys will take advantage.
Woods has never won a major not leading going into the last round and after the first nine holes yesterday he looked like he was going to have to break that hoodo.
Quite a few players wilted under the pressure of being in contention, first Appelby drifted off the top them Mediate droped a couple and players like Karleson,Love and Els all went the wrong way..
Garcia showed why hes one of the best around shooting another 70 to put himself right back in contention, Westwood has his best ever chance to win a major from just one back and of course theres the champion of two years ago Olgilvy still there with a chance.
Another ten or more players lurking within six shots of the lead and this should give us the entertaining finish we were all hoping for.... but now its Tigers to lose and all the punters who took the 7/2 pre tournement price or even the 7/1 after he double bogeyed his first hole on day one must be thinking the golfing gods are smiling on someone....
