PGA Championship 2013 Leaderboard: Biggest Disappointments from Oak Hill

While the PGA Championship was a fun week for some—Jason Dufner winning the final major championship of the year—it wasn’t fun at all for other top golfers.

When play from Oak Hill Country Club in New York commenced on Thursday, everyone was hoping to see Tiger Woods win his 15th career major championship. But by the time Sunday rolled around, Tiger was far from the top of the leaderboard. His inability to win was easily the biggest letdown of the week at the championship.



Tiger had a few bad holes in the first round, which plagued him going forward. He bogeyed the par-five fourth and double bogeyed the par-four ninth. He did finish round at just one over, but that still put him far from top contenders. Friday was a little better, but he was still at one over entering the weekend.



Saturday was a disaster for the top-ranked golfer in the world, as he bogeyed four holes and only birdied one of them. He signed his scorecard showing three over for round, putting him well out of contention heading into the final day at Oak Hill. It would’ve been virtually impossible to make a final-round comeback.

Tiger shot ever par on Sunday to finish the championship at four-over par. That was good enough to put him in a tie for 40th place, his worst finish at a major since the 2012 Masters—where he also tied for 40th. Tiger will now have to wait until the Masters next season to try to win his 15th major championship.

Aside from Tiger finishing far from the top of the leaderboard, here are a few other golfers who failed to impress this week at Oak Hill Country Club.
