Tiger Woods will enter the final round of the Valspar Championship one off the lead held by Corey Conners, following a Saturday round of 4-under 67 at Innisbrook.Woods sits in a three-way tie for second at 8 under par with Justin Rose and Brandt Snedeker. Rose will play in the final pairing with Conners on Sunday, while Woods and Snedeker go off in the second-to-last tee time for the second day in a row."The environment was incredible," Woods told Golf Channel's Steve Sands in a post-round interview. "The people were into it. I played well, Sneds played well, and the people, I think they really got entertained today."I've played myself right up there in contention so it'll be a fun Sunday."Two off the lead to start his third round Saturday, Woods missed a birdie try at the par-5 opening hole, but wouldn't have to wait long to move into red figures.Tiger made his first birdie of the day at the par-4 third, taking iron off the tee and playing another from the rough before rolling in a 20-footer.

I admit that I nearly crumbled to my knees as that putt barreled toward the hole. Looked dead center with about 5 feet to go. But a tap-in birdie means he's back to -8 and two shots back.— GC Tiger Tracker (@GCTigerTracker) March 10, 2018Woods hit each of his last four greens on his way into the clubhouse but couldn't get any those lengthy birdie putts to fall, coming in in 1-under 34.
