Round 3 goes to Furyk,McDowell

Woods tied 14th

Swedens Fredrik Jacobsen also shot a 68 to finish alone in third,two shots behind the leaders,with Englands Lee Westwood (67),Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts (71),American Blake Adams (70) and South Africas Ernie Els (68) a shot further back. John Peterson (72) had a hole-in-one at the 180-yard 13th to join Webb Simpson (68),Jason Dufner (70),Kevin Chappell (68),Australias John Senden (68) and teenage amateur Beau Hossler (70) at three-over. Woods was tied for 14th at four-over following his 75. He had started the day tied for the lead at one-under with Furyk and David Toms,who fell to five-over after a 76.

Seven different players had a share of the lead at some stage but it was Furyk and McDowell on top at the end of a riveting days golf in northern California. Furyk rebounded from two early bogeys to birdie the 268-yard seventh hole when he got up and down from a greenside bunker and then birdied the par-4 11th when he drained a 12-foot putt. He dropped another shot on the 16th but two-putted the par-5 17th to get back in red numbers.

Woods,bidding to win his first major in four years,made a terrible start when he bogeyed four of the first eight holes then finished poorly with bogeys in two of his last three holes.
