Tiger Woods is on top of a leaderboard at a major! Caveats: there’s still 36 rounds of golf to play and he’s in a three-way tie. But it’s progress nonetheless for the golfer who hasn’t won a major since 2009.
2012 PGA Championship: Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Carl Pettersson Tied Atop Leaderboard
Woods was in sole possession of first for most of the back nine on Friday, but he bogeyed the 18th to finish 1-under par and at 4-under on the championship. He’s tied with Carl Pettersson - who led at the beginning of the day, but was 2-over for the round - and Vijay Singh. Ian Poulter is one stroke off the lead after also bogeying the 18th hole, closely followed by Rory McIlroy and Jamie Donaldson at 2-under.
Obviously there’s an awful lot of golf left to be played, but Woods is looking in form, especially his short game. After a few close calls at majors, it might be his time to finally win again.
