Woods struggles in 2nd round
By Doug Ferguson
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 28 - 08 - 2010

Tiger Woods was poised to take control at the Barclays Friday. Instead, he went the other way.
Woods missed a 20-inch putt for one of four bogeys over the last eight holes and shot a 2-over 73. The difference from the rest of the year is it only cost him the lead, not a chance of winning.
Jason Day, the 22-year-old Australian who won his first PGA Tour event earlier this year, made three straight birdies late in his round and finished with a good par for a 4-under 67 that gave him a one-shot lead.
Day was at 8-under 134, one shot ahead of Kevin Streelman (63) and Vaughn Taylor (70).
Woods was four shots behind going into the weekend, and confident he could make up the deficit.
“You play around here and post good numbers, you'll move up the board,” he said. “The guys aren't going to be tearing this place apart.”
Two years after narrowly missing a playoff at Ridgewood Country Club, Streelman ran off six birdies in a seven-hole stretch for a 63 that will put him in the final group Saturday.
Stewart Cink raised his Ryder Cup hopes with a 69 that put him in a group at 136, while the pack another shot behind included Adam Scott (71) and three-time major champion Padraig Harrington, who had a 68.
Europe's Ryder Cup team will be decided Sunday evening, and Harrington can only hope to be one of three captain's picks. Paul Casey, also hopeful of a Ryder Cup pick, shot 69 and was in the group with Woods that also included Zach Johnson.
Woods at least will keep his No. 1 ranking for another week. Phil Mickelson missed the cut, then left The Barclays through a side door without speaking to reporters.
Woods wants to play on the US Ryder Cup team as a captain's pick – the American selections won't be announced until Sept. 7 – and the desire alone makes him a worthy candidate. His game is starting to show plenty of promise, too.
Woods went to 8-under par when he hit his approach to 5 feet for birdie on the 18th. Heading to the front nine, the easier of the two nines at Ridgewood, he had only 93 yards to the hole and a wedge in his hand. Woods went 40 feet long, left his first putt 6 feet short and made that to escape with par.
That set the tone for the rest of his round.
Posing over his tee shot on the par-3 second, it sailed over the green and left Woods a tough chip. As he started his swing, a photographer took a series of pictures.
“Not in my swing,” Woods said as he made contact, sending it 25 feet long for his first bogey.
Wie seizes lead
Michelle Wie had the second hole-in-one of her pro career Thursday as she seized a three-shot lead in the Canadian Women's Open.
Wie lifted her arms in celebration and was high-fived by playing partner Cristie Kerr after the ace, at the 190-yard, par-three 11th.
The shot helped Wie to a seven-under 65, but she was careful to keep her celebration restrained. Sarah Kemp of Australia was three strokes back after a 68, while defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway was alone in third place at 69. Kemp notched six birdies and two bogeys. Rookie Ilhee Lee notched a 70, tied with seven other golfers.
