AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods needs to play well to be a factor on the weekend at the Masters. He also needs some help from 36-hole leader Scottie Scheffler.
On Moving Day at Augusta National, we track Woods’ third round.

The weather is cold, with highs not reaching 60. The wind is expected to pick up. A lot of things can happen on a Saturday at the Masters.

No. 1: Par 4, 445 yards
The first hole got Woods again. He bogeyed the first hole on Friday. He did it again Saturday. This one made him 18 over on the opening hole at Augusta National during his career. He was done in this time by a 3-putt.
Score: Bogey
Total for the day: 1 over
Total for the tournament: 2 over
No. 2: Par 5, 575 yards
Woods pummeled a driver off the tee. By the time it got done rolling it went 365 yards, about 30 past playing-partner Kevin Kisner. After dumping his second shot into the front bunker, Woods nearly holed out for eagle. Instead, he knocked in a 3-footer for birdie to erase the bogey at the first. It was his first birdie of the week at the second, which is playing as the easiest hole on the property.
