Westwood up 2; Tiger, others in hunt

GULLANE, Scotland -- Nobody expected it to take this long, certainly not him. Through scandal, scorn, injury and athletic redemption, Tiger Woods has re-emerged as the No. 1 player in the game, with only a major championship keeping him from a full return to glory. That is now within his grasp at the game's oldest tournament, a 15th major championship one day away in the land of golf's birth. Woods has not been this close through 54 holes of a major since his life imploded nearly four years ago. An excellent opportunity awaits Sunday at Muirfield. But he will have to chase down third-round leader Lee Westwood, whose own journey to major glory has been longer and far more painful. And he'll have to hold off those around him, including Hunter Mahan, who along with Woods -- and recently Westwood -- employs Sean Foley as coach.
