Woods, playing his first official stroke-play event in China, shot a 5-under-par 67 Saturday and enters the final round of the HSBC Champions tournament one stroke behind leader David Howell of England.

Woods is tied for second at 15-under 201 with Nick O'Hern, who had a 67 for the third consecutive round. Howell, who shared the lead with Australia's Nick Dougherty after the second round, missed a birdie putt on the last hole and settled for a 68.

More than 1,000 people tracked Woods' group around the Sheshan International Golf Club course, with the crowd at least doubling at some holes. The new $5 million tournament is the richest in Asia, and Woods wants to leave his imprint.

"Considering this is the biggest golfing event they've ever had, I think it would be very special to have your name associated with that," he said.

Woods has taken time this weekend to educate fans and photographers. Golf in China was nearly nonexistent 20 years ago, but the country hosted six European tour events in 2005. With the sudden rise has come confusion about golf etiquette — such as ringing cell phones and taking photos on backswings.

At the first hole, Woods loosened the grip on his driver, turned and asked the gallery to "hold the cameras." He interceded when a woman started moving while playing partner Kenneth Ferrie was lining up a crucial putt on No. 4. Woods called out courteously: "Ma'am, hold still — please!"

His patience ran out on the 12th tee, where he glared at a photographer after having to check his swing. The camera was taken by a security guard, and Woods went on to birdie the hole.

Liselotte Neumann made a 15-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions in Mobile, Ala.

With the closing birdie, Neumann broke out of a four-way tie and moved into the lead at 11-under 205 on the Magnolia Grove Golf Club's Crossings Course.

Defending champion Heather Daly-Donofrio had a 68 and joined Australia's Rachel Hetherington (72) and U.S. Solheim Cup star Christina Kim (72) at 10-under 206.

Fred Couples and Adam Scott used six straight birdies in the best-ball format to shoot an 11-under 61 and take a two-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Fla.
