The cheers sounded as though someone was making a charge at Riviera.
Tiger Woods waits to hit on the 11th hole during the third round of the Genesis Invitational golf tournament at Riviera Country Club, Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023, in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. – Jon Rahm could hear the cheers from all over Riviera, the sound typically associated with someone making a charge. Except they came from the opposite side of the course that featured players too far away from the lead.
What stood out was the day. It was his best score on a Saturday in an official event since the fall of 2019. A month later at Southern Hills for the PGA Championship, he again made the cut with some dazzling play down the stretch on Friday. But the wind shifted, a cold front arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and he shot 79 and withdrew.
He finally dropped a shot on the seventh when his approached rolled off the steep ledge, leaving a tough pitch. But he finished better than Friday, when he bogeyed three of his last four holes. Woods said he was sore after his fourth straight day walking — starting with the pro-am on Wednesday when he stopped playing after 16 holes — and he speaks of the recovery after a round and the preparation before it.
