TULSA, Okla. – After fighting to make the cut, but now 12 shots back, Tiger Woods succinctly described what he needed to do Saturday at Southern Hills.
“Hopefully tomorrow I can do something like what Bubba did today,” Woods said.
Ah, yes, Watson, the mercurial left-hander who popped up again Friday and tied the 18-hole scoring record at the PGA Championship with a 7-under 63. At 5-under 135, he is four shots off the lead.
Friday’s 63 wasn’t just Watson’s lowest career round in a major – it was his lowest by four.
“I could shoot 80-80 [on the weekend] and care less what I did on Friday,” he said.
