Woods falls into three-way tie

Golf » Tiger Woods lost his three-shot advantage in six holes in the Australian Masters in Melbourne on Saturday. By the end of the day, he was happy to simply be tied for the lead with Aussies Greg Chalmers and James Nitties . Woods hit one poor shot after another, put himself in bad positions and had to scramble for an even-par 72.

Chalmers had a 69 despite missing a 6-foot par putt on the 16th hole and a birdie putt on the 18th from about that range. Nitties, frustrated early as putts refused to fall, played bogey-free for his 69.

Not only did Woods lose his lead, he lost his cool after he hit his driver well to the right on the 354-yard 13th hole. Woods threw the club into the ground and it bounced up and into the gallery, where a surprised fan caught it and returned it.

He shot a 3-under 69 that left him tied at 203 with Justin Leonard (71), Justin Rose (69) and Mathias Gronberg (66) after three rounds.
