Mercifully for Tiger Woods, the 2013 Tour Championship will conclude on Sunday at East Lake in Atlanta.

The world's No. 1-ranked golfer shot his first birdie-less round in over three years in Thursday's opening round, per ESPN researcher Justin Ray, and collapsed a day later after recording not one, but two double bogeys over the final five holes of the second round.

British Open champion Phil Mickelson was unable to carry the momentum he gained in Friday's second round over to Saturday, shooting par in the third round. Lefty now finds himself nine shots off the lead heading into the final round.

Barring a major collapse at the top from Henrik Stenson, Mickelson has very little chance of coming back and winning. But that doesn't mean he won't have an excellent round on Sunday. After all, Lefty finally figured out Nos. 4 and 5 on Saturday, parring both holes after bogeying both in the first two rounds on Thursday and Friday. 



If he can avoid trouble early on, he's shown in past rounds that there are birdies to be had on the back nine at East Lake. Mickelson will have great birdie chances on Nos. 6 and 12, two holes that he has birdied over the past two rounds.

Final Round Prediction: 67 (-3)

 

Adam Scott, -2 (T-10th)



Like Mickelson, reigning Masters champion Adam Scott finds himself well off the pace heading into Sunday's final round. But unlike Left...
