PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Here are some observations after watching Tiger Woods 1-under 69 Saturday at the Honda Classic: Man, that could have been good. Really good. The best round of the week is 65. Tiger could have been there. Or lower. He just couldnt get enough putts to drop. Check that. He didnt get enough putts to drop for birdie. Woods rolled in a couple of nice par-savers, none bigger than his 16-footer on 12 that he celebrated with a hammer fist pump. Through three rounds, Woods is second in proximity to the hole with his irons. Sure didnt see that coming after last weeks debacle at Riviera, where he hit only 16 greens in regulation for two rounds. He hit 13 greens just in the third round and that was on a wind-whipped course with trouble everywhere. Big-time improvement.

Tiger talked a good game earlier this year, saying that he knows its going to take time for him to get in contention and be a factor. Thats already gone. After the third round, and trailing by seven when he walked off the course, he said: Ive got a shot. Thats the Tiger of old. Love it. Woods finally made a birdie on a par 5, though hes had only six chances this week. This one was unorthodox, too, after he found the left fairway bunker on 18, pulled his long-iron approach left of the green and then played a deft chip to kick-in range. This was Tigers first round in the 60s this year (nine rounds). Were building.

A three-putt from 4 feet. A four-putt from 25 feet. Tiger four-wiggled in the first round last year at Shinnecock, but according to Golf Channel research, Saturday marked the first time he's done so in a non-major since 2010. As opposed to climbing to 9 or even 10 under, Tiger dropped to minus-6.
• Tiger's last two weekend rounds in the 60s in The Open both happened at Carnoustie and both happened on July 21. In 2007, Woods shot 69 here. On Saturday, that score was clipped by three shots.
