Woods's return to the PGA Tour for the first time since he missed the cut at Torrey Pines previous year has overshadowed Rahm's number one quest.

Noren sank a 40-footer to eagle the par-five sixth and added a tap-in birdie at the par-five 18th to card 69 and edge ahead on a crowded leaderboard. "I'm glad I did that because I would have left that short".

Players who played the South Course on Thursday will play the North Course on Friday, while those who played the North Course Thursday will play the South Course Friday.

Jon Rahm, who elevated to No. 2 in the world rankings after his win in the California Desert last week and a lock to get to No. 1 with a win this week in the tournament he won a year ago, shot a 6-under 66 Friday to get to 10-under.

"I was just trying to get under par for the day after finishing 2 over that the turn", Woods said.

Since then, Woods has undergone a fourth major surgery and he admits he needs time to fine-tune his game.

His score could have been several shots worse had he not holed a number of clutch putts for par, and he will look to fix his errant long-game before he heads out in the final round of an official PGA Tour event for the first time since August 2015. The North Course used to be easier than the South, but was toughened up during a recent renovation.

Tiger Woods is 10 shots off the lead after birdieing his final hole Friday to go to 1-under-par for the tournament, making the cut with no room to spare in his first PGA Tour event after a yearlong absence. It made up for probably the biggest disappointment of the round, his bogey on the par-5 No. 13, when he found a green-side bunker from a valley in the fairway, then let out a worthy expletive, then saw a harrowing three-foot downhill put lip out on the left of the cup. They have a pregame show running from 1 to 2 p.m., so that should have live look-ins and highlights of Tiger's first few holes.

The Kiwi appears to have regained his form after missing the cut in his previous three efforts on tour. When he tried to return after a 16-month break a year ago at Torrey Pines, he missed the cut.

Tiger Woods' first tee shot Saturday was so off the mark that a course marshal immediately started waving frantically to the left with his paddle.

Alex Noren emerged as the surprise 54-hole leader at the Farmer Insurance Open as Jon Rahm's hopes of retaining his title took a hit at Torrey Pines. He ended up saving par after his 3-wood pounded the ball into the right bunker and his sand shot landed in the rough.

Woods almost had the shot of the tournament when he barely missed a hole-in-one on the 16th hole by at least six inches.

He took a double bogey on the 459-yard, par-4 13th.

The 14-time major victor will play his first weekend rounds at a US Tour event since the 2015 Wyndham Championship.
