Tiger Watch, Round 3: Woods charges up the leaderboard with Saturday 68

Sweat, snap hooks, outbursts and emphatic fist pumps.

All that and the Tiger Woods of old, charging up the leaderboard at Augusta National. 

Woods fired a 4-under 68 Saturday afternoon, turning in a scorecard with six birdies and two bogeys that reads a shot off the low round in the clubhouse.

His playful demeanor changed following a terrific start that saw him record three consecutive birdies through holes 2 to 4. His belief was real, and his emotion became much more intense.

But with that came a dip in his performance. He birdied another on 8 before the turn, but started missing his spots and fought to remain at even-par on the back nine.

Woods's 68 is his best round at the Masters since a 67 on the Sunday of the 2011 tournament, but he'll be well off the lead when he dons the red on Sunday.
