Tiger Woods entered the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday knowing he needed something special to get himself into contention but instead misfired off the tee, struggled on the greens early and failed to generate any momentum.
Woods, who made the cut with a shot to spare, could not find much of a spark on the fast greens at TPC Harding Park where he mixed four bogeys with a pair of late birdies for a two-over-par 72 that left him at two over on the week."I didn't make anything early. I had a couple of opportunities to make a couple of putts, and I didn't. They were burning edges. I had a couple of lipouts, and just nothing really got... the round going," said Woods.
The 44-year-old Woods swapped his usual putter with a longer one this week to help alleviate pressure on his surgically repaired back but said his putting woes have nothing to do with the equipment and were all about misreading the greens.
