Woods takes charge to close in on eighth Bay Hill win ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Looking like his old imposing self, Tiger Woods surged into the third round lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday, setting his sights on an eighth Bay Hill title and retaking the number one ranking. Four back of overnight leaders Justin Rose and Bill Haas when the day began, Woods walked off the course to wild cheers and in full command after returning a brilliant six-under 66 for with a two-shot lead over the fifth ranked Rose and American compatriots John Huh and Rickie Fowler. Woods, who had a disastrous end to his second round on Friday while closing with three consecutive bogeys, stumbled out of the gate on Saturday, finding the fairway bunker with his opening drive but had his putter working early dropping an 11-foot putt to save par. But to no one's surprise, he soon discovered his comfort zone on one of his all-time favorite layouts, mixing an eagle and five birdies with a single bogey. Seven-times, including last year, Woods has triumphed at "Arnie's Place" and one more victory on Sunday would match Sam Snead's PGA Tour record for most wins in a single event. It would also see him reclaim top spot in the world rankings from Rory McIlroy. "Generally our schedules are such that once we figure out what golf courses we like, we tend to play them," said Woods in a greenside interview. That's been the case with my scheduling and look at few events over the course of my career I've played well on and this is one of them.
