McDowell ready to take on Tiger

Graeme McDowell was happy to be a party pooper when he birdied the last to clinch a third-round date with Tiger Woods in the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral’s TPC Blue Monster.

The Irish ace carded a rock solid 67 to grab the clubhouse lead on 11 under par and deny Phil Mickelson a date with the impressive Woods.

Rory McIlroy showed signs of improvement in his game but still struggled to keep pace with playing partner Woods, who raced to 12 under midway through the back nine.
