ATLANTA — Tiger Woods moved closer to completing one of the most improbable comebacks in sports on Saturday, carding a sizzling five-under-par 65 at the Tour Championship to take a three-stroke lead as he goes into Sunday’s final round at East Lake Golf Club seeking his first title in five years.

Woods, who has had four back operations since spring 2014, missed all of the 2016 season and was limited to two rounds in 2017 and 11 starts in 2015. He has not won a tournament since August 2013 at the Bridgestone Invitational.

Woods birdied six of his first seven holes on Saturday, including five in a row, while grouped with the world No. 1 Justin Rose. The 30-player field here includes 18 of the top 20 players in the world rankings. Woods, who in his prime occupied the top spot for a record 683 nonconsecutive weeks, is now ranked 21st.
