Rory McIlroy will start Sunday four off the lead held by Dustin Johnson at the WGC-Mexico Championship. But he knows quickly this leaderboard can change.
Seven holes before the four-putt that sank his third round, Tiger Woods bent his 9-iron around a tree while playing his second shot on the eighth hole at Club de Golf Chapultepec.
