Woods was sailing along smoothly, within striking distance of the lead, when he arrived at the 146-yard par-three hole with its distinctive island green.
He pulled his tee shot a touch, but it looked like luck was on his side when the ball landed on the edge of the green before rolling on to the small sliver of land that serves as a bridge to the putting surface.
Woods finally found the heart of the green with what was his fifth shot, and two-putted for seven.
