St Andrews: World No 1 Tiger Woods teed off in Saturday's third round of the British Open stalking leader Louis Oosthuizen on the fabled Old Course where he has twice lifted the Claret Jug.
Woods, a 14-time major champion chasing the record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, won British Open titles in 2000 and 2005 at St Andrews and hopes to become the first three-time Open winner at the birthplace of golf.
Woods struggled to a one-over 73 in Friday's high winds to begin the third round eight strokes behind Oosthuizen, who finished before the worst of the gales to stand on 12-under par 132 for a five-stroke edge after 36 holes.
"If you get a good break you have to capitalize on it. He certainly did," Woods said. "Everyone else, we had to grind it out, gut it out.
"Everyone is dealing with the wind and everyone is playing the same golf course ufffd just got to go out there and execute."
