It's Tiger's to lose at the Zozo Championhip with 7 holes left to play.

When play was suspended in round 4 at the Zozo Championship, Tiger Woods was 3 shots ahead of the field at -18 with 7 holes left to play when dawn breaks on Monday morning on the Accordia Golf Narashino CC, outside Tokyo in Japan. (13 hours ahead)

He posted 66 in his 3rd round early Sunday morning before changing into his traditional red shirt to begin his 4th round. He is at -2 through 11 holes, and played 29 holes in total. Round 4 begins at 6.30pm today EST.

Hideki Matsuyama birdied his last two holes to get to -15 with 6 holes left to play, so he can make it interesting.

In reality the only guy who can beat Tiger is Tiger himself and in his present form that is extremely unlikely, especially the way he has played the back nine.

This is what he had to say. "Today has been a long day in the saddle, so early wake-up call tomorrow and back at it again. I’m gonna try to win, there is no doubt about that. I have a job to do tomorrow, start off from the 12th hole, it’s not one of the easiest of holes so right out of the gate I’ve got one of the hardest holes on the golf course"

Much is being made (the guys at Golf Channel are beside themselves) of this being his 82nd win to tie the great Sam Snead for most regular tournament wins.

I looked at Sam's record and in his 82 wins there are several that were only 36 holes, one that was only 18, several that had less than 20 players in the field, not to downplay his greatness. Traditionalists are pointing out that this is only a 78 man field and Tiger's WGC wins are only 60 man fields and his own silly season Invitational only has 18 so I think it's all a wash.

Gary Woodland wasT3 place at -12 with Sungjae Im, while Rory McIlroy was 5th at -11 but has just 2 holes to play.

Corey Connors 69 64 66 is +2 in his 4th round through 12 holes at -9, Adam Hadwin is finished with scores of 71 69 71 68 -1 currently T42.
