Will this be the week Tiger Woods puts an end to the longest winless streak of his career, a stretch covering 17 tournaments and dating back to 2009? While he was in the midst of putting together a 6-under par 66 Friday to close within three shots of leader Roryt McIlory during the second round of The Masters that question was asked again and again.
Woods, who said after the round he was "right where I need to be," tees off today at 2:35 in a pairing with K.J. Choi. Both are 7-under par for the tournament. McIlroy and Jason Day (8-under par) tee off at 2:45 p.m. Defending champion Phil Mickelson (2-under par) tees off at 12:55 p.m.
Here is the leaderboard entering today's third round:
1. Rory McIlroy (-10)
2. Jason Day (-8)
T3. K.J. Choi, Tiger Woods (-7)
T5. Geoff Ogilvy, Alvaro Quiros (-6)
T7. Y.E. Yang, Lee Westwood, Fred Couples, Ricky Barnes, Ricky Fowler (-5)
