SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — The early wake-up call was well worth it for Matt Jones, who made two birdie putts in pristine conditions at Whistling Straits on Saturday morning to complete a 7-under 65 and build a two-shot lead in the PGA Championship.
It only gave Tiger Woods a chance to get home to Florida this afternoon. He completed a 73 and missed the cut in his third straight major.
Jones holed a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the short par-4 sixth hole, and he holed a 50-foot birdie putt on No. 8. That put another shot between Jones and fellow Australian Jason Day, who made a birdie and bogey in his final four holes and wound up with a 67.
