Stuart Appleby of Australia was atop the leaderboard after 54 holes, although he was more of a survivor on a day of frigid temperatures, swirling breezes and a relentless course that yielded only one round below par.
Appleby was the final player to succumb to par, taking triple bogey on the 17th hole when he drove into a bunker on the seventh green, hit another bunker on the hole he was playing and three-putted. He wound up with a 1-over 73.
One shot behind was Woods, who has played in the final group four times at the Masters, but never like this.
For the first time in his 13 trips to Augusta National, he has failed to break par over any of the first three rounds. Woods had a chance until finishing bogey-bogey for a 72 that put him in the last group with Appleby.
Also one shot behind was Justin Rose, who twice missed par putts inside 4 feet over the final three holes for a 75.
Appleby was at 2-over 218, the highest score to ever lead the Masters going into the final round.
