Hole 5 (par 5, 558/528 yards)

Tiger pulls driver and strikes a controlled fade down the center of the fairway, his ball speed recorded at 174 mph. He has been keeping pace with Justin Thomas off the tee throughout the week, a testament to his career-long ability to adapt his swing to accomodate various injuries.

Charlie pulls driver and displays a dynamic recoil with the ball flight to match; the ball has plenty of juice and safely finds the left side of the fairway, leaving just 200 yards into the green on the short par 5.

Playing his second from the left side of the fairway, Charlie stares it down all the way, but the ball catches a pond just short of the green. Tiger is unfazed, as he launches a high mid-iron that tracks toward the flag and settles just 15 feet short. Justin and Mike Thomas are both off the green, giving Team Woods a chance to cut into the deficit.

Charlie attempts eagle first, and he judges it perfectly, the ball starting out right and creeping back toward the center. It falls over the left edge and into the cup as Charlie raises his putter and pumps his fist twice.

“I finally made one,” Charlie says with a smile as he exits the green. 

Team Thomas makes birdie, but Team Woods cuts into the deficit, which is now two.

Team Woods, 17-under (4-under Sunday thru 5)

Leader: 19-under; Team Thomas (thru 5), Team Singh (thru 6)
