Tiger Woods enters Final Round just one stroke back at the Valspar Championship
The Tampa-area crowds at Innisbrook’s Copperhead course are making the Valspar Championship feel like a major championship. Why? Probably because Tiger Woods, who has never played in the Valspar, and who hasn’t been to Innisbrook in 22 years (1996 JC Penny Classic), is in serious contention.
Following a Saturday 67 (4-under par), Tiger finds himself in a three-way tie for second-place, just one stroke behind Canadian Corey Conners, who shot an impressive 68 despite the clearly pro-Tiger crowds.

In what can only be described as the Tiger Effect, 20-people-deep galleries surrounded Tiger’s group — which included Brandt Snedeker (8-under par, T2) — all day, while the surrounding groups had to deal with the herds shuffling and relocating between Tiger’s shots. The leader Conners, who’s new to that type of hectic atmosphere, clearly handled himself well. But Sunday is a much different day than Saturday in the world of golf.
In the center of the madness on Saturday stood Tiger Woods, who’s no stranger to the big, and vocal crowds. But unlike tournaments of late, Tiger has a legitimate shot to win this thing.
Below are Tiger’s highlights from Saturday.

So, Tiger sits just one stroke back going into Sunday. Can he actually get the job done while wearing his Sunday red? Cast your vote here.

There you go folks, it’s all over. Good week for Tiger, but not a win. He is still a good player but not a great player. A class act won this and last week.

I was there yesterday and having seen Tiger play twice in person, the crowds at Copperhead were just insane. Obviously Tiger does not move the needle, he is the needle.
