Tour Championship has turned into target golf - Woods

World number one Tiger Woods has criticised the East Lake course which is hosting the Tour Championship in Atlanta for being the easiest he has played in more than a decade as a professional.

Woods took a three-shot lead into the final round but that does not mean he is happy.

He knows officials had little choice but to heavily water the greens, which are severely stressed by record summer heat.

However, he could not hide his disappointment.

“I can’t remember too many courses easier than this one,” said Woods, who shot an effortless six-under-par 64 yesterday.

“I prefer not to play it like this. I prefer courses where [when] you shoot something in the 60s, you’ve earned it.

“That’s why I love the US Open so much. You shoot a round in the 60s there, man, you’ve thoroughly earned it.

“When you get greens this soft and pins this easy and greens this slow, you’re going to have a bunch of birdies. You fire at every flag, even if you have a five iron.”
