Tiger Woods failed to make the charge he needed on Day 3 of the Tour Championship. He ended the third round at three over par after a one-under 69 on Saturday. He would now need a lot of help to finish atop the FedEx Cup standings.



Tiger's struggles started late in Friday's round. After fighting his way back into contention, his round fell apart over the final five holes, which included a triple bogey and a double bogey. He didn't rediscover the magical touch on Saturday.
