Tiger woods faces one major fight to get back to the top of the game


Play all audios:


The excitement around Woods' return to competitive golf this week reached fever pitch after the second round as he moved into contention for the win. But he struggled in a strong breeze


on day three, dropping four shots in seven holes before picking up another bogey at 10. Woods went on a late rally on the back nine to make two birdies and move back to four under but he


ended the day 10 behind overnight leader Charly Hoffman. And the 14-time major winner began to remind Chamblee of a worrying trend that Woods will need to rectify going forward.  "It


will remain the chipping but it will also remain trying to be the same person on the weekend that he is on Thursday-Friday," Chamblee said. on the Golf Channel. "This is really

2013, he did everything but win a major championship. "One of the reasons was why was in the 2012 US Open he shot 139 the first two days and 148 on the weekend. "This became sort


of a theme for him and it was an analyst's nightmare because you'd see one person Thursday-Friday and a completely different person Saturday and Sunday. "Obviously this is


mental not physical."
