He has a one-shot edge over Sergio Garcia (65), Chris DiMarco (69), and Ernie Els (71), who are tied for second place at 12-under 204. Garcia's record-tieing round put him into contention on Sunday.

"Hopefully I can go out and put a good number on the board tomorrow and give myself a chance," Garcia said. "We love being in this position. Today was a thrill with all the cheers around the course."

"I hit the ball beautifully today but I did not putt well," Woods said. "(But) I still maintain the lead."
