Despite everything he’d said about never needing to climb the mountain again, Woods had entered this tournament just like he’d entered every other tournament - hellbent on winning it. He lowered his head and looked pissed off. And when Woods missed his chip for eagle, and then his putt for birdie, he betrayed his true emotions.
He would walk the final 237 yards by his boy’s side, another small victory on a day defined by a zillion of them. After father and son missed the green on their approaches, Tiger didn’t bother heading for his cart. Given that the Dalys were still birdie-ing up a storm behind him, Woods knew his team needed eagle for a chance. He had spent three weeks in the hospital and three months in bed, and yet in his fifth round of golf since the accident (and second round competitively) he was standing on the 18th tee tied for the lead. But Tiger’s game represented by far the most remarkable sights and sounds of the event. The kid outfoxed so many accomplished adults, pretty soon they’ll be calling him Charlie Hustle. Team Tiger had just set a tournament record by making 11 consecutive birdies, and had just accomplished its stated goals of playing bogey-free golf and having a ton of fun.Ĭharlie’s swing is Snead-level pretty, and his tee shot at the par-3 17th might’ve been better than any shot struck by his dad. Woods and his 12-year-old son had just finished the two-round scramble at 25-under, two strokes behind John Daly and John Daly II, a college player at Arkansas. I can’t compete against these guys right now.” Told Sunday that the Tour veteran he was paired with, Matt Kuchar, had effectively declared his game Tour-ready, Woods said, “No, I totally disagree. Tiger Woods, son Charlie’s 11 straight birdies fall short of Daly duo He was seen lifting his right leg and flexing it, like a running back trying to shake off an awkward twist or tug at the bottom of a scrum. He grimaced on a few swings over the weekend, even grimaced here or there when bending over to pick up his tee. Woods made his way around with a pronounced limp. He needed to ride a cart at the PNC, and he dearly missed walking side by side with his son Charlie like he did last year. Of course, the condition of Woods’s leg makes it more complicated than that. Phil Mickelson won the PGA Championship at 50 and, you know, Tiger has always been clearly better than Phil. Tiger Woods after his shot on the 16th hole of the PNC Championship Sunday. On cue, Woods would win next time around at Augusta National. Open cut at Shinnecock that year, I wrote that he would still win another major, in part, because (with the possible exception of Jack Nicklaus) he was better than all the many players who had won majors in their 40s. Win a major championship for the 16th time? Yeah, and I think the moment will make his epic comeback victory at the 2019 Masters feel like a first-place finish in a local member-guest.Īfter Woods returned from spinal fusion surgery in 2018, he called himself “a walking miracle.” When he missed the U.S. Win on the PGA Tour for the 83rd time and break his tie with Sam Snead for the all-time record? Yeah, I think that’s going to happen. This was Tiger Woods and his young son Charlie finishing second in a silly-season golf event 10 months after Woods could have died while crashing his own SUV.īut if you broke away from yet another miserable Jets and Giants Sunday on CBS and Fox and found a sanctuary in the form of the PNC Championship on NBC, you likely came away with a couple of right-minded observations:ġ) It was surreal seeing Woods dressed to kill in red, launching a 350-yard drive and lashing dead-eye irons after saying this of his mangled right leg: “I’m happy it’s still attached.”Ģ) Tiger Woods will win another golf tournament. Open 16 months after he was nearly killed by a Greyhound bus.
