Quicken Loans National 2018: Tee times, pairings for Tiger Woods, field on Sunday

Tiger Woods was living under par again on Saturday at the Quicken Loans National, but he still left TPC Potomac saying it was a “frustrating” round. Woods posted a 2-under 68 that could have been much more. At the start of the day, he thought he needed to post another 65 to get to 10-under for the tournament to really have his best shot going into the final round. Instead, Tiger is at 7-under for the week and six shots off the pace set by Francesco Molinari and Abraham Ancer.

Woods is still within range, although it’s much tougher task with just 18 holes to play. Six shots is definitely doable with 36 more to play, but Tiger is running out of time now. After the round, he said he’d prefer if the course played difficult on Sunday. Often, you will hear chasers say they want a gettable course to at least have a chance to pull off a chasedown. But Woods has always been of the preference to pull off a comeback on a harder course, and Sunday’s conditions at TPC Potomac should be firm and fast.

Tiger will go at 1:20 p.m. ET alongside Bronson Burgoon, who most viewers will have never heard of when they tune in on Sunday. The guy has a funny name, but he’s got plenty of game and can compete on the highest tour in the world. Playing with Tiger, however, is a totally different world and one that I watched Bill Haas and Marc Leishman battle through the first two days at this event. There’s really no circus like it and if you’re second to play or putt out after Tiger has finished up, you’re kinda screwed and just going to have to accept the chaos around you.

Joel Dahmen, another player who doesn’t have a ton of reps out there, played well enough with Tiger on Saturday. But he said it was nothing like he’d seen before, telling Golf Channel, “The wildest thing was walking to the tee, and I looked at my caddie like, ‘Holy cow, this is unbelievable.’ I played with DJ last year. I’ve been around 16 at the Phoenix Open. But it was nothing like this.”
