WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS: American Jason Bohn fired a nine-under 61 for the co-lead Saturday after the third round of The Greenbrier Classic while Tiger Woods just about hung in behind a crowded leaderboard.
Woods, who is coming off a dismal performance at the US Open last month, shot one-over 71 as he played the back nine in plus-two at the $6.7 million PGA Tour event.
He is tied for 47th at four-under-par 206, seven strokes adrift of the leaders going into Sunday's final round.
The 42-year-old Bohn was at 11-under 199 after 54 holes with three others -- Bryce Molder (67), Park Sung-Joon and Sean O'Hair, who both shot 66.
Bohn is trying to win his third career US PGA Tour title.
He closed his round with four birdies on the final five holes. He rolled in five birdies on the front nine and added another on the par-four 10th. The only blemish in his round was a bogey on the 11th.
There are 27 players within four strokes of the lead.
South Korean Park, who is the only golfer among the four leaders who has not won on the US tour, has two international wins, including a victory at the 2013 in Japan.
Park's bogey-free round at The Old White course included four birdies.
Justin Thomas shot four-under 66 in round three to move into a tie for fifth place at 10-under. He stands alongside Canada's David Hearn, Chad Collins and Kiwi Danny Lee, who all shot 68.
Jonathan Byrd (69), Brendon Todd (67) and Swede David Lingmerth (64) are one stroke back.
Woods finished with four birdies, three bogeys and a double bogey as his struggles on the back nine derailed the great start he had to the tournament.
