Adam Scott was losing ground Saturday at Firestone when he decided to stick with what was working. Scott was at 12-under 198, the lost 54-hole score at Firestone in 10 years.Scott atop the leaderboard should be compelling enough, especially with Woods back to golf. Ishikawa might be the only other player in golf to appreciate what it's like to get attention like Woods. He has been a star in Japan since he won his first tournament as a 15-year-old amateur, and his 10 wins on the Japan Golf Tour include shooting a 58 in the final round to win The Crowns.
A win would make him the youngest winner of a PGA Tour-sponsored even since John McDermott won the 1911 U.S. Open at 19. PGA Tour rookie Keegan Bradley had a 68 and was two shots behind, along with Martin Laird (67). The group another shot behind included world No. 1 Luke Donald, who had a 64 despite a bogey on the last hole, and Rickie Fowler, who holed out from the fairway for eagle for the second straight day. Woods opened with a bogey that started with shots to the right and left of the fairway, and he didn't hit a single fairway on the front nine.
