In just his fourth official start since spinal fusion surgery last April, the former world number one carded an assured four-under-par 67 at the Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor.

Woods ended the round equal second with fellow American Brandt Snedeker (67) and Englishman Justin Rose (66).

But Canadian surprise package Conners continued to lead, the PGA Tour rookie posting a 68 for a nine-under 204 total with one round left.
