Tiger Woods' golf game has been in the depths in 2015, but this week, he may have turned the corner. He's close to the lead at the Quicken Loans National, one of the two tournaments he hosts, and, as everyone knows, there's nothing like Tiger in the hunt. It could make for a spectacular weekend.

"I hit the ball really well today," he said. "I was very pleased with that and made a few putts, but also I missed a bunch, too. This could have been one of those really low rounds."

It actually traveled 161 yards, and he didn't play the rest of the par five much better, three-putting from about 60 feet for bogey. He started on the back nine and credited the errors on the 14th with helping him score on subsequent holes.

"I should have made bogey there," he said. "I hit it on the green and three-putted. After that, kind of got me kick-started a little bit. Got me a little fired up. Got me a little more focused on what I'm doing out there instead of just hitting a shot."

After that, the old Tiger magic was back. He birdied the 15th and 18th, chipped in for birdie on the par-three fourth and, as he says, took care of business on the other two par fives, making birdie on both of those. The course is a par 71 and has only three par-five holes.

He was not surprised by his good play.

"I have been through this before, and you make changes to the game. It takes a little time sometimes," he said. "It's just a matter of time before things start to click in and get more jelled and things that—the new patterns become more natural."

He said it's never an overnight transition.
