SAN FRANCISCO – Tiger Woods’ fragile back was a hot topic heading into this week’s PGA Championship with temperatures hovering around 50 degrees and a thick fog blanketing TPC Harding Park, but Woods isn’t the only player in the field with a balky back.
Jason Day has been spotted in recent weeks slowly plucking his golf ball from the hole in an attempt to protect against re-injuring his back, and he had his share of concerns heading into what promised to be a frigid round on Thursday. Instead, the sun broke through the fog around midday and temperatures climbed into the mid-60s.
