Highlights from day three of the Genesis Invitational

Tiger Woods shot an impressive four-under 67, including a first eagle in three years, on round three of the Genesis Invitational on Saturday.

After squeezing into the weekend on his first PGA Tour start since July 2022, Woods hit an eagle on his 10th hole - the par-5 first hole on the course - his first since the 2020 Genesis Invitational.

He was at five under for the day with four to play before finishing his round with three pars and a bogey to stay in the top 30 on the leaderboard upon finishing.

Earlier on Saturday, it was confirmed Woods had just made the cut despite bogeying three of the final four holes of his second round on Friday.

Play was suspended due to darkness Friday night in Los Angeles, with 14 players still needing to complete their second rounds when they returned on Saturday.

    It has been an eventful week so far for Woods, after he apologised on Friday having drawn criticism for handing a tampon to Justin Thomas during the first round.

    On the ninth hole, Woods hit it further than Thomas and then handed him a tampon as the pair walked towards their second shots.
