Tiger Shoots 4-Under 66; In Five-Way Tie For First At Arnold Palmer Invitational

Orlando, FL (AHN) - Don't look now but Tiger Woods has a share of the lead heading into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill.

Woods shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday and heads into the final round in a five-way tie at the top of the leaderboard with Sean O'Hair, Bart Bryant, Bubba Watson and defending tournament champion Vijay Singh - all tied at 6-under 204.

Woods is 42-3 when he has at least a share of the lead at the 54-hole mark on the PGA Tour, but he has never started a final round tied with more than one player.

Nine players had at least a share of the lead at one point in Saturday's third round.

O'Hair, who won last week at Innisbrook, had the round of the afternoon with a 7-under 63. He had finished his day before the other leaders had even teed off.

Singh entered the day at 9-under with a two-shot lead, but shot a 73, dropping five shots in a four-hole stretch. He hit three balls in the water, but stayed in the hunt when he chipped in from 30 feet to save par after shooting 40 on the front nine.

Sixteen players are within three shots of the lead heading into the final round.

Hunter Mahan is one shot off the pace despite bogeys on two of his final five holes. He still managed a 65 on the day.

Nick Watney made two eagles and had a two-shot lead after his second one at No. 12, then he hit tee shot out of bounds, hit a ball in the water and missed a putt from four feet - all on the 16th hole for a quadruple-bogey 8.

Watney went from the lead to a five-way tie for seventh - two shots behind. He is tied with Tom Lehman, Cliff Kresge, Lee Westwood and Ken Duke.

Carl Pettersson also was among the leaders for a while as he opened with nine straight pars, then pulled his tee shot out of bounds on No. 10 for a double bogey. Pettersson ended up with a 74 and is three shots back. He's tied with Tom Pernice Jr., Brian Davis, Vaughn Taylor and Jim Furyk.
