Putting woes nearly caused Tiger Woods to miss the cut at the PGAChampionship.
After Friday’s barrage of misreads, short misses and rim-outs on greens he could not figure out,Woods, who got under par on Day 1 of the PGA Championship by swapping his usual putter for one that was a little longer, ended up in a battle simply to make the cut in the second round. He shot 2-over 72 to finish at even par at the midway point at Harding Park. He is eight shots behind leader Haotong Li.“I really struggled with getting the speed of the greens today,” he said.
A day that began with legitimate thoughts of Woods capturing his 16th major ended with him needing to play the last three holes at even par or better simply to make the cut. His sand wedge was no help. In two days, he hasn’t left himself closer than 7 feet out of any of the seven greenside bunkers he’s found.
