Tiger Woods has clearly been in pain, but he succeeded in his goal of making the weekend at the PGA Championship.
The Associated PressHe limped, occasionally used a driver like a cane, and pushed his rebuilt right leg over and through the hills and swales of Southern Hills on Friday with a singular mission: to get to the weekend at the PGA Championship.
Few consider that a realistic scenario the way Woods has to fight his body to get through a round. A car crash 15 months left his right leg so badly damaged that doctors considered amputation. He recovered well enough to tee it up again Friday, which by itself impressed playing partner Rory McIlroy. Real trouble came the par-3 11th when he missed the green well to the left, then bashed his club against a cart path in anger. A double bogey followed and he was in danger of ending the week early.
