Tiger Woods Missed the Cut at the PGA Championship – Details
“But I’m going to have fun with it, and I’m pretty relaxed on the golf course“. He’s still good enough to pop into contention occasionally, a la Phil Mickelson, but the days of him living in inside the top half of the leader board at every major are unequivocally gone. He made it to the Tour Championship all but two years.
Before Chris Paul teed off in the Wyndham Championship Pro-Am this morning, he felt a lot different than he did on the basketball court.
Weekley showed that at the season’s final major when he shot 65 on Saturday before conditions got bad. A victor of 23 national writing awards, including 20 for golf coverage, Shedloski is now a contributing writer for Golf World and GolfDigest.com and serves as editorial director for The Memorial, the official magazine of the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio.
“The bottom may be the most rocky part to get past, but if any player can do it, he can”. He has done this before.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Justin Rose finished at 14-under 274 in the Masters and at the PGA Championship.
Barring a victory there his PGA Tour season will be done, as he hasn’t qualified for the FedEx playoffs. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll play.
He referred to mistakes that kept him from shooting a really low number, but he is confident that his game is not going downhill – unlike the playful deliberate slide he took on Whistling Straits’ slick slopes Friday.
Woods is 186th in the FedEx Cup standings, 279 points behind 125th – where he would need to be to qualify.
With Tiger Woods apparently veering towards skipping this week’s Wyndham Championship in North Carolina and thus calling an end to his 2014-15 season, David Duval, a former world No 1 who knows all about slumps, made the case for Woods to honour his commitment. He also sounded like someone whose 2015 season might, indeed, be over.
Tiger Woods won’t be playing in the PGA Championship this weekend, so he’s got some free time on his hands.
Day recovered to birdie 17 and finish the day on 15-under-par.
The final groups are wrapping up the second round.
Zach Johnson goes for back-to-back majors.
Are you surprised that Tiger has committed and is competing?
The 39-year-old, who is 27 over par for his last seven rounds at majors, bemoaned the fact that his putting was off when he felt he was swing was in good shape, an area that he has struggled with in recent times.
That is two outside the expected cut line.
This is Woods’ fourth missed cut in 10 starts this season, summing up the miserable year the 39-year old has had.
That has never happened before.
There are a handful of groups finishing up the second round, which was suspended last night because of rain. They begin next week at The Barclays in New Jersey.
Now, it’s Matt Jones in the lead at the PGA Championship. “It’s been one or the other“. “Hence, took the break to try and figure it out, and came back at Augusta and had my short game back”.
Deluded Tiger Woods reckons he is returning to form – despite missing out on the cut for his third major in a row.
It all starts at 7 a.m. when second-round play resumes. The projected cut was 2 over, so unless Woods holes out from the 18th fairway for an eagle, he’ll be done for the week.
