Tiger Woods' woes returned in round three of the Australian Open with the American finishing three over par to slip to six points behind leader John Senden.

The American, who has not won in over two years, had led the Australian Open at the halfway point but he could not maintain his good form in round three in Sydney and fired in a three over par 75, which appears to have scuppered his chances of winning the tournament.

Woods blamed his putting for his poor round, which has left him six shot behind third round leader John Senden. He is now out to 16/1 at Ladbrokes to win the Australian Open.

"I played the par-fives awful and I made nothing," said Woods.

"I got off to an awful start. On the first nine, the greens were way firmer and I played more break and left everything on the high side. Then I made a concerted effort on the back nine to hit low lines and left everything low.

"There are a few easy holes you need to take care of and I didn't do that."

Senden, who won the Australian Open in 2006, shot a bogey free round of 63 to race into a one shot lead over compatriot Jason Day. He is now 15/8 to win this year's title although Day is the marginal favourite at 7/4.

"I kicked off well with the birdie at five and holing at six and then tried to stay relaxed on the back nine," said Senden.

"The course allows you to shape shots into the pins, the back nine especially gives you a chance - anything can happen on those par-fives."
