PGA Championship: Tiger Woods misses cut
Jason Day has a good chance of heading into the third round of the PGA Championship with the lead. I saw that he was 16 under with four holes to go, thinking he could get to 17 pretty easily.
“I just need to get more consistent in tournament golf“.
I don’t know where all this is going, but, to say the least, it is very interesting and confusing.
Still, the attraction of having Woods come to Greensboro should be a boost for the tournament.
He finished the suspended second round of the PGA Championship yesterday morning with a 1-over-par 73 to go 4 over, missing the cut by two strokes.
Woods caused a stir Friday night when he committed to the Wyndham Championship next week in North Carolina, a tournament he has never played. “But I’m going to have fun with it, and I’m pretty relaxed on the golf course”.
What Woods is looking for is a late-season miracle. I hadn’t played that much the last couple years and I’m finally able to start playing.
However, Woods and Steinberg both seemed to hedge on that commitment nearly immediately after it was made, both suggesting that there would need to be some more thought put into the decision. His agent, Mark Steinberg, confirmed today that Woods will play in the 2015 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. Woods will miss the cut for the third straight time in a major.
One thing is for certain with Tiger Woods: at 39 years of age, and at this stage in his career, he is a heck of a lot more reflective and expressive. Shortly afterward, pressure from the global media forced Woods to admit he had cheated on his wife multiple times.
Matt Jones claimed the outright lead of the PGA Championship after concluding his second round early Saturday while there was to be no miracle turnaround for Tiger Woods who missed the cut at a major once again.
Woods, the No. 278 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, is 186th in the FedEx Cup points standings and now needs 279 points to move into the top 125 in order to qualify.
Lee came back from his disastrous front nine in the second round and started his day with three consecutive birdies, then added another on the fifth. The names back then: Craig Stadler (Masters), Tom Watson (U.S. and British Open) and Raymond Floyd (PGA).
At the PGA at Whistling Straits in 2010, Johnson grounded his club in a bunker on the final hole and took a two-shot penalty that kept him out of a playoff. He said Woods can “produce shots of the highest level” when he’s right.
“I’ve actually played there before and taken the driver out of the bag”, Duval said. “I just haven’t done that”. And still in the mix was Martin Kaymer after his 65, leaving him four shots behind and with plenty of good vibes about his playoff win at Whistling Straits five years ago.
