Tiger Woods is as short as 1/5 to close out victory in the Ford Championship at Doral later today.
The world number one recovered from a double-bogey to end the third round two clear of Rich Beem and Daniel Chopra at the Blue Monster course and he's a top-priced 1/3 with Ladbrokes and VC Bet.
And the omens are good for Woods, who has a record of 33-3 when taking a lead into the final round on the PGA Tour.
"I'm in good shape I guess," said Woods, who went to the range immediately after signing for a four-under-par 68 that left him on 17 under at 199.
"I didn't hit it all that well but somehow managed my way around the course and hit some key shots here and there to get the momentum going."
Beem (69) and Chopra (68) emerged from the pack to share second place thanks to birdies at the difficult final hole.
However they are available at 18/1 and 20/1 respectively with Skybet, the bookies preferring the chances of David Toms and Phil Mickelson.
Toms is three behind and gets an 11/1 quote from Sporting Odds while Mickelson is one further back after finding water at the last and is 14/1 at Coral.
