A mixed third round has left Tiger Woods tied for 10th in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

Woods fired a two-under par 70 on Sunday morning (NZT) and trails runaway leader Hideki Matsuyama, who carded a seven-under par 65, by 11 shots with a round to play.

Woods shot a four-under 32 on the front but hit some adversity on the back of his third round.

Seriously!?
Seriously!?

Seriously.

Back-to-back bogeys on holes 13 and 14 were plagued with mishits off the tee, leading to a two-over 38 on the back nine.

Woods currently sits at eight-under par heading into Sunday's final round.
