Thread: Tiger holds share of lead in Abu Dhabi

So, is Tiger Woods back and will he win a major during 2012? Offhand, Tiger is being paid 2M for just showing-up at the Abu Dhabi Championship so he's certainly not losing. We shall see...

Tiger Woods shot a 6-under 66 Saturday for a share of the lead after the third round at the Abu Dhabi Championship.

The 14-time major winner played a consistent round to move to 11 under for the tournament.

''It just seemed like I didn't do a lot of things right but I didn't do a lot of things wrong today, it was just very consistent,'' Woods said. ''You know, made a couple putts here and there ... I stayed away from trouble and tried to keep the ball towards the fat side of some of these pins and I think I did a pretty good job.''

On a side note, CBS has been promotiong the 2012 Masters for the past two-weeks. A little early in the season to get excited about the Masters IMO.

He won the last tournament he played, I would say he id getting better...

Woods loses by two strokes. Rory McIlory gets a two stroke penaly for an obscure rules violation and loses by one.

Woods has really one thing to acomplish. Add to his Majors win total. The rest is really meaningless at this point in his career.

I expect we will see Woods ply a conservative course from here on. Split time between the US tour and Euro and other events (where appearance fees are legal), not really playing all that much, concentrating on the Majors.

I would have watched (on tape delay) but I didn't see it being covered on the Gold Channel or elsewhere. Such is life. I noticed Mickelson has picked-up the clubs once again. The problem with Phil is that he's getting up there in age and I'm sure his arthritis can't help. As usual, I'm really looking forward to this years Masters.

CBS was covering it until it went into a playoff where they interrupted play to go to 60 minutes. The rest aired on the Golf Channel.

CBS dumped out of the (US) PGA event after one playoff hole. What turned out to be the final playoff hole was turned over to the Golf Channel.

Woods was playing in the (somewhat misnamed) European PGA Tour event in Arabia (which is technically part of Asia, BTW). It was live on the Golf Channel starting at 3:30 am ET, ending at 8:30, followed immediatly by a rerun of the last 2 1/2 hours. Golf Channel is the exclusive home of Euro Tour events in the USA.

I just said that brah.

Hey, whaddayaknow...Tiger and Phil are battling-it-out today at Torrey Pines.

Yikes! Both Woods and Mickelson eagle #6 and are tied for the lead at -14. Unfortunately, live play has ended and the Golf Channel, but it will be picked-up on CBS at 3:00 PM.
