The storms that have battered the mid-Atlantic left the Maryland course unsafe for spectators, so Woods was not accompanied by his usual whoops and cheers as he carded a four-under 67 to sit six under overall, one behind leader Brendon de Jonge.

Woods’ round was matched by playing partner Bo Van Pelt who also finished on six under for a share of second, as did South Korea’s Noh Seung-yul after a two-under 69.
