Tiger Makes Birdie From Chrysler Expressway

World number one Tiger Woods grinded his way to a third-round 65 on Saturday at the Buick Open, a round which included birdies from various exotic locales including an up and down from the HOV lane on Detroit's Chrysler Expressway.

Tiger's blocked his drive at the 538-yard 15th, his ball coming to rest on the southbound side of Michigan's busiest freeway. When rules officials were unable to locate any out of bounds stakes, the ball was deemed in play. "Well the lie was good, which was nice," Tiger later explained. "It was sitting on top of a recently filled pothole which was technically ground under repair, but I looked at it and realized it might help me catch it higher on the clubface, so I played it as it lied."

Caddy Steve Williams dutifully paced off the 294 yards back to the green, dodging 6 lanes of oncoming traffic in the process. From there, it was just a textbook 3-wood over the highway, trees, courtesy tents and clubhouse. The shot ended up four feet from the cup.
