Tiger Woods at The Open, Round 4

Tiger Woods is currently T6 after an even-par 71 in the final round of The Open Championship at Carnoustie. He went out in 34 to get into a tie for the lead as he made the turn. Woods lost steam after a double-bogey on No. 11 and a bogey on No. 12. A birdie on No. 14 brought him back within two shots of the lead but four-consecutive pars to close out his round left him three back of playing partner Francesco Molinari who finished at 8 under. This will be Woods' first top-10 in a major championship in five years.
