Tiger Woods suffered in the PGA Championship

Tiger Woods painfully dragged his aching leg. With his 79 card, he slipped to 76th place in the competition on Saturday, tied with three other golfers.

Winner of 15 grand slam tournaments, he has been struggling over the past two days, where his right foot, which was about to be amputated fifteen months ago after his car accident, seems to have plagued him for more than five weeks. past the Augusta Masters Tournament.

Back on the wall at the end of the first round with 74 cards, four over par, he struggled on Friday to make the cut, certainly set at +4.

His encouraging score of 69 keeps him in the tournament in 53rd place (+3).

On Saturday, the humid heat, which had been trying the day before for his joints, was followed by rain, after a big storm delayed the start of the 3rd round by a big half hour.

His ball fell into the water twice on the 2nd and 6th holes, ending in a bogey and a triple-bogey. After another bogey on hole 7, he got another five in a row between holes 9 and 13.

This is the first time he has done much in a major tournament.

At the time, Woods was +10, matching his worst grand slam tally, set in 2002 at the British Open.

However, he made his lone birdie on hole 15, following a superb putt from 11 meters. He smiled at last when his superb shot pleased the viewers behind the ropes.

Note that his multiple open leg fracture required a shaft to be inserted into his tibia and screws to join the foot and ankle bones.

Meanwhile, the leader after 36 holes, American Will Zalatoris is trying to stay at the top of the rankings on Saturday.

If the trend of the last four PGA Championships continues, whoever takes the lead after 36 holes will get their hands on the important trophy.

Will Zalatoris and Chilean Mito Pereira were neck and neck for first place.

Canadian Adam Hadwin finished his round on Saturday and posted 75 to slip to 70th place (+9), tied with three other golfers.
