Tiger Woods reacts to his missed putt on the 18th green during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island, S.C., Friday, Aug. 10, 2012.KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – The major known as “Glory’s Last Shot” turned into one last chance for Tiger Woods.
On the toughest scoring day in PGA Championship history, Woods made putts from one end of Kiawah Island to the other Friday for a 1-under-par 71 that gave him a share of the lead with Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson going into the weekend.
“It was tough out there – wow,” Woods said.
Wow, indeed.
In relentless wind that began at sunrise and whipped up the Atlantic waters with 30 mph gusts, par never looked better in this championship. There were more rounds in the 90s – two of them by club pros – than in the 60s. There were 41 players who failed to break 80, a list that included Rickie Fowler, Matt Kuchar and Hunter Mahan.
