Woods, four-time winner and the defending champion, bogeyed four holes in a row on the front nine. The No. 1 player in the world -- who has won his last three starts, including the British Open and PGA Championship -- wound up at 1-over 71 to share second place with Davis Love III (70) and Paul Casey (64) at 8-under 202.

"I was a little surprised because it's Tiger Woods," said Cink. "But even the great Tiger Woods, can make some bogeys out there."

Jim Furyk (69) is fifth at 7-under 203.

Lucas Glover also shot a 69 Saturday and is sixth at 204, one shot better than Ernie Els (70), Kevin Stadler (70) and Adam Scott (71).
