Tiger Woods shot a 5-under 67 at Augusta National on Saturday to finish at 11-under par and sits two back of leader Francesco Molinari heading into the final round.
The 43-year-old got off to his common slow start Saturday, carding four straight pars before stumbling to his lone bogey on the difficult par-4 fifth.
However, Tiger bounced back with three straight birdies, starting with an 18-foot slider on No. 6.
Is this birdie the spark that will light Tiger Woods' round?

He was locked in from then on. After crushing his drive down the middle on No. 7, Tiger stuck his approach from 147 yards to a foot for a kick-in birdie.

He added two more birdies to his card, both coming on par 5s, before generating a roar only Tiger can create with a gorgeous tee shot on No. 16.
"Well, well, well."

This is the fifth occasion Tiger has sat at 11-under or better after 54 holes at the Masters. The previous four times, he went on to win the green jacket.
He'll tee off at 9:20 a.m. ET in the final group on Masters Sunday for the first time since 2007 alongside Molinari and Tony Finau.
Buckle up.
