Woods is highly ahead on his other streak of attaining perfection.
He shot 67 and was two shots off the lead Thursday at the CA Championship. It is since September that this winning streak of Woods is on its way with six official victories around the world, ending with a 25-foot birdie putt, four days ago at Bay Hill.Woods was poised to catch Geoff Ogilvy and Miguel Angel Jimenez, each of whom opened at 7-under 65, until he missed a 7-foot birdie putt on the 16th and three-putted the 18th hole from 70 feet, missing the last one from 5 feet.For most, it was a shift in the wind that brought joy.After practice rounds in ferocious wind, so severe that Ogilvy didn't even bother playing on Wednesday, it made a slow shift to favorable conditions, allowing for all but two dozen players in the 79-man field to break par.
The former U.S. Open champion is savvy enough to know that golf is about beating the course better than anyone else, but these times call for slight adjustments. Woods has become the most dominant player this side of World War II.
