There was not much that was crisp about Tiger Woods' round today.
Whatever he does to relax himself when paired with Rory McIlroy disappears a bit when he plays with others and that lack of confidence was all apparent today.
With tough greens and narrow fairways, the course really showed some teeth today, but as Jim Furyk showed with his six-under 64, there were good scores out there.
Tiger has a couple rounds to claw back and still controls his own destiny in winning the FedEx Cup.
By the way, based on the way the point projections are tonight, Rory would win the Cup even with a Furyk win based on where Rory is in the field.
Tiger has 32 yards to go.
The green has a crown and he needs to land it on the downslope.
He does that in spades and gets it to stop about a foot short for par.

Rose shoots a two-under 68 today.
Tiger limps home with a 73.
