When Louis Oosthuizen withdrew from the tournament, Tiger Woods and playing partner Joaquin Niemann were forced to take a little extra time on each hole, often waiting while others in front of them labored. While that could have thrown Woods off, the additional rest seemed to help him as the day wore on. And after looking like he might collapse early, he steadied the ship, using a stretch of 2 under on the day’s final six holes to finish at 74 — and the five-time champ now stands at 1 over for the tournament.
“I don’t feel as good as I’d like to feel,” he said afterward. “But that’s OK.”
What’s next? It’s tough to predict. Of course, a year ago any thought that he’d be in this field would have been considered lunacy. So we’ll skip the predictions and simply enjoy the slow ride alongside Tiger.
