Tiger Woods" FedEx lead is gone in 60 seconds For the second day running, Rose birdied the par-three 18th, although after a brilliant tee shot to six feet he didn't need a huge putt this time around. At 25 in the standings, Rose requires a win and something extraordinary to occur to the big names below. In truth, his eye is only on the Tour Championship title. "That would be prestigious enough for me, with 21 of the world's top 22 players here in an elite 30-man field," Rose admitted. For his part, McIlroy refuses to be drawn into the maths. The permutations are seemingly endless with Furyk showing above Woods in the projected standings despite starting the week down in 18th. "I just have to try to think of my standing in this tournament, nothing else," said Mcilroy. I've still got a good chance going into this weekend. I needed some really big saves today after a shaky start and it was pretty solid stuff after that. His rescue on the fourth verged on the miraculous. He sailed the green into a dreadful position and was thinking "just get it to 40 feet." In the event, he conjured it to within six feet. "That was as good as I could have done," he said. I also made a really good save on the first as well. They are probably the best par saves I've made in a long time. Furyk had no need for such Houdini-like heroics. He began with seven straight threes. Rather incredibly the veteran made only one putt over five-foot in this staggering stretch - the 14-footer for birdie on the first. Davis Love would have been looking on in pleasure. The US captain came under fire for selecting his old friend as one of his four wild cards for Medinah. Furyk, the 2003 US Open champion, has so far suffered a winless year, while Hunter Mahan was overlooked despite winning twice. Furyk, however, insisted he was not at all concerned with the questions about his merit. On the evidence of this 64 it wasn't difficult to see why.
