Tiger Claws His Way Back Into Palmer

Tiger Woods uttered eight words today that every other player on the PGA Tour dreads hearing heading into the final round of an event: "I've played my way back into the tournament." Woods' 4-under 66 in third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational allowed him to grab a piece of the five-way tie at the top, reports the Associated Press. Woods has won Palmer's tourney four times previously.

Woods is at 6-under 204, tied with Sean O'Hair (63) Bart Bryant (68), Bubba Watson (68) and Vijay Singh, whose 73 made tomorrow's final round at Bay Hill a shootout. They aren't the only ones in contention, either, as 16 players are within three shots at the top. Woods is 42-3 when at least tied after 54 holes, but he has never been tied with more than one player.
