Hideki Matsuyama is blowing away the field at the Hero World Challenge and finished his third round with a seven-shot lead over second-place Henrik Stenson and Dustin Johnson. There are just four shots between the rest of the golfers in the top 10, however, and Tiger Woods is in the hunt for an unbelievably strong finish in his first tournament back.

Woods carded a bogey-free 65 on Friday, and followed that stellar round up with a mercurial 2-under 70 in the third round, which ended with another double bogey at the 18th hole.

Tiger got off to a fantastic start in the Bahamas, carding five birdies in his first seven holes - but he struggled down the stretch, playing his final six holes at 2-over par.
