SAN FRANCISCO - Tiger Woods says he is going to have to hit crisper irons and clean up his putting on Saturday if he is going have any chance at capturing his 16th Major championship.

Even if his game is not as sharp as it used to be, history has shown it is never wise to count him out, especially after his stunning Masters victory last year. Woods switched to a longer putter this week and is still getting used to it. He is pleased with the way he is driving the ball, but the new putter let him down.

Li, who is trying to become the first player from China to win a men's Major championship, fired a bogey-free 65 to take a two-shot lead in the first Major championship of the pandemic-interrupted season, making him the first player from China to lead in a major. When the coronavirus crisis hit, Woods took five months off to heal himself and fix his swing. He returned two weeks ago with mixed results at the Memorial.
