    Tiger Woods is making a move at the PGA Championship -- just not in the direction he wants.

    After pulling within five strokes of leader Matt Kuchar when the second round was completed Saturday morning, Woods backed up in the third round. He blew birdie chances on each of his first three holes, and bogeyed his next two. And in the surest sign of trouble, he was muttering to himself before he finished the fourth hole.

    Woods made the turn at 3 over for the day, even par for the tournament. That's nine strokes behind Nick Watney, who birdied his first two holes to move ahead of Kuchar.

    Also making a charge was Rory McIlroy, who tied for third at the British Open after matching a major championship record with a 63 in the opening round. The Northern Irishman had three birdies in his first five holes, and was at 8 under. Joining him were Dustin Johnson, best known for his epic collapse at Pebble Beach, Kuchar and 2003 U.S. Open champ Jim Furyk.
