Memories of the most dramatic shot of his Masters Tournament career came flooding back the moment Tiger Woods continued his bid for a 15th Major title at Augusta National.
Five years ago Woods' chip at the short 16th hole hung on the edge of the cup before toppling in - and this time it was an 18 foot birdie putt on the first.
The crowd sighed first as the attempt hovered, but then roared when it dropped for a three that lifted the World Number One - playing his first tournament since winning the JBWere Masters five months ago - to only one shot behind Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter.
However, it was Phil Mickelson who was the first to catch the two Englishmen when he birdied the second and third to climb to eight under.
His stay at the top was only temporary on this occasion, however, as Westwood rolled in a 22 footer on the tricky opening green to go to nine under.
That was a massive bonus for The European Tour's Number One from last season as his drive had finished close to the trees down the left.
Poulter was even wilder, hooking onto the adjoining ninth fairway, but the WGC-Accenture World Match Play champion was wide enough to be able to get over all the trees and onto the putting surface, from where he saved his four.
He was joint second with Mickelson as a result, while Woods was one further back and then Anthony Kim and K J Choi in joint fifth on six under.
Neither Westwood nor Poulter nor Woods could birdie the long second - Westwood had eagled it in his second round 69 - but Woods then holed a curling 25 footer at the next and went back into a tie for second.
Again it prompted a fist-pump, but he followed it with a bogey on the 240 yard fourth for the second day running.
Westwood made his second birdie of the day with a ten footer and went three clear with Mickelson bogeying the short sixth and then Poulter three-putting the fifth.
However, the American almost eagled the 570 yard eighth from 20 feet and his birdie narrowed the gap to two again.
As for Woods, he made bogey fours on the fourth and sixth - first he was bunkered and then he three-putted - and was suddenly four adrift and joint fourth with 50 year old Fred Couples and their fellow American Ricky Barnes.
They all moved up into third when Poulter, being out-played by Westwood on the front nine just as he was in practice on Tuesday, missed the green at the sixth and dropped another shot.
