Woods, who’s last major victory came at the US Open back in 2008, made five birdies in his first eight holes as he surged up the leaderboard on Saturday.

Koepka, the current US Open champion, also carded a third-round 66, however, two late bogeys reduced his advantage to just two shots in front of Australia’s Adam Scott.

Things didn’t go to plan for the British challengers on Saturday, with Justin Rose, Ian Poulter, Eddie Pepperell and Matt Wallace all seven shots back on five under, while Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood struggled and find themselves 10 shots adrift on two under.
