Tiger Woods is one shot off the lead going in to the final round at the Bridgestone Invitational. It is going to be tough to keep him from gaining the lead on the final round. Tiger Woods plays great Sunday afternoon golf. It will be fun to watch...
Sabbatini, one of the few players bold enough to call out Tiger Woods, gave himself another shot at the world's No. 1 player by getting his double bogey out of the way early Saturday and closing with nine straight pars for a 2-over 72 in the Bridgestone Invitational.
That gave the spunky South African a one-shot lead over Woods, and another chance to go head-to-head in the final group. Kenny Perry will fill out the threesome, perhaps as the referee if not a contender.
"I think it's going to be a stormy day altogether,'' Sabbatini said with a smirk, a reference to nasty weather in the forecast that pushed up the starting times Sunday, and memories of his verbal sparring with Woods this spring.
He was at 4-under 206, the highest 54-hole score to lead at Firestone since it became a World Golf Championship in 1999.
Woods did his part. Despite a bogey from the trees on the 18th hole, the five-time champion at Firestone had a 1-under 69 -- the other five players in the final three groups were 21 over par -- and was one shot behind, leaving him a good chance to win the Bridgestone Invitational for the third straight year.
