Tiger, Rory and a Sunday duel? Everybody slow down

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. -- A 62 with seven birdies and an eagle. The old Scotty Cameron putter in the bag, for comfort and reassurance. A day of rest after a long stretch of golf.

All looked good for Tiger Woods on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club, where he got off to a rare fast start in a 2018 tournament and found himself atop the leaderboard with Rory McIloy at the BMW Championship.

But before we go expecting some epic duel with McIlroy this weekend or even an 80th PGA Tour victory, it is best to put it all in perspective.
