Tiger Woods was still on the golf course as darkness settled into eastern Wisconsin on Friday at the 92nd PGA Championship.

Woods completed only six holes of his second round due to the fog in the morning that again delayed the start of action about three hours, just as it did on Thursday.

Four of six pars have been of the scrambling variety. He seems to have found the putting stroke, and his work around the greens and in the tall stuff has been sensational.



 

2. Stay focused

The only way a golfer as talented as Tiger Woods can finish a golf tournament 30 shots behind the leader and 18 over par is when that golfer totally loses focus. I won't say they give up, but they know it is futile and nothing is going their way and they want off the golf course.

Tiger can not let this happen to him this weekend. First of all, there is a cut, as was not the case last weekend, so he wouldn't be around for the final two rounds anyway if he is not sharp. Tiger is battling not only his game, but his confidence, something we never thought we'd see from him.

Staying focused also means staying confident.

 

3. Stay in the fairways
