Tiger Woods stuck one within 10-feet and sank a birdie putt on the 16th hole for a share of the lead at the Masters.

Let that sink in.

Woods is in the hunt for fifth green jacket, he finished his third round with 11-under on the tournament, one shot off the lead ahead of the final day at Augusta.

He scuffled earlier on Moving Day, but back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 put him atop the leaderboard alongside Tony Finau and Francesco Mollinari. Mollinari, finished his round 13-under. Woods finished with a 67 with six birdies.

Woods’ improbable return to golf in the last year after severe back injuries and scandals tanked his career has featured a handful of eventful Sundays, including a FedEx Cup win last September.
