Tiger Woods Ties Two Records at PGA Championship


Tiger Woods dominates and leads going into Sunday of the 07 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. This will be Tiger Woods' first major of the 2007 season if he wins.

Yesterday, on the second round Tiger Woods lips out his final put to finish with a 63. This ties the lowest round ever in a major. Tiger Woods' lip out is very similar to Nick Price's lip out to shoot a 62 in another major.

The second record is lowest round after shooting a 63 in a major. The record held by a few guys is a 69 after shooting a 63. Tiger Woods has a right to left put to shoot a 68 that looks like it is going in until it rolls over the edge. Tiger shoots a 69 and ties another record.

John Daly Second after First Round of PGA Championship


Crowd favorite and past PGA Championship winner, John Daly finished with a 3 under par 67 and two behind first day leader Graeme Storm. John Daly did have the outright lead in the first round of the British Open before collapsing down the stretch. Today Daly kept it together and finished strong. Different than the other players Daly mentioned that he didn't play a practice round before this years tournament at Southern Hills. As the weather is scorching and most players drinking plenty of water, Daly said he survives on cigarettes and diet coke.

Tiger Woods finished 6 strokes behind the leader at +1. Tiger tees off in the afternoon tomorrow and will part of the TNT coverage.

Phil Mickelson started off hot only to start spraying his tee shots all over the place and scambling for par. Mickelson finished at +3.

Sergio Garcia made a nice come back after the missed opportunity at the Open Championship with an even par round. This puts Sergio in a good position going into Friday and the weekend.

PGA Championship Comments from Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson

Tiger Woods, Phi Michelson, and other top PGA Tour golfers met with the media for the traditional new conferences before golf's major championships.

Tiger Woods mentioned that with the hot temperatures and advanced golf balls that the ball is traveling farther than the last time Southern Hills hosted a major. Tiger felt that the heat doesn't effect him that much and scuffed at the idea that the heat can do anything to his concentration.

Phil Mickelson talking about what Sergio Garcia is going through said that talking to the media was the hardest part about not winning a major.

Sergia Garcia seemed to handle himself more mature this week than the news conference after losing the British Open. Sergio could be the player to beat this week as in the past he has played well after disappointing finishes in majors.
