Tiger Woods couldn't have asked for much more at his first Wyndham Championship.
And now he will play a Sunday round that matters.
Woods shot a 2-under-par 68 in the third round Saturday in Greensboro, N.C., leaving him two strokes behind leader and longtime friend Jason Gore in a three-way tie for second.
Gore had a career-best 62 to reach 15-under 195 at Sedgefield Country Club.
"I need to go out there tomorrow and make a run and get myself up there and make some birdies," Woods said. "There's a bunch of guys ... at 13 [under]. There's a whole slew of guys at 12, 11, 10. Anybody can make a run and shoot the score Jason and Jonas [Blixt] did."
Woods is shooting for his first victory in more than two years, one that would earn him enough points to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs opener next week. A solo second-place finish might be enough for Woods, who's at No. 187.
Woods' streak of 28 holes without a bogey ended on No. 18 when his 6-foot par putt lipped out. He had sank 10 straight pars before briefly moving within one shot of Gore with a birdie on the par-3 16th.
"The putter just felt really good. My pace, I felt like I could be aggressive," Woods said. "I took a few runs at putts and ripped them past the hole, but I never felt like I was going to miss any of them."
