His lead stretched to as many as three as he methodically parred the first six holes — and Woods surrendered a shot. “I was trying to hit a chippy eight-iron. It was probably a nine-iron yardage but I didn’t want the wind to gust and to get the ball too much and I just didn’t hit it hard enough.At the par-five 12th he missed the fairway and laid up.
“But I probably should have gone middle of the green and just wait for the last three holes to try and make something happen there.”
