Twitter was fired up for Tiger Woods’s third round at the 2018 British Open on Saturday, with cries of #GOAT and “He’s back!” landing in newsfeeds. Fans and pros alike were thrilled to see Tiger contending: Justin Thomas and Ian Poulter both tweeted their excitement, and Woods’s five-under 66 catapulted him to T5 (with the afternoon tee times still on the course) and five under for the tournament. It was his lowest score at a British Open since 2006; he last shot in the 60s in the majors in 2011. Here’s what folks had to say about it.
BREAKING: The golf gods want to Tiger to win.

Played awesome… only a matter of time. If he stays within striking distance and continues to play like this he’ll have a chance. His game looks 👌🏽.. but so do a lot of guys! https://t.co/cgj5fPDyQg
