It won’t give him the PGA Tour wins record, but Tiger Woods is in position for another victory.
Making his first competitive appearance since the Open Championship in July, Woods and son Charlie teamed up for a 13-under 59 Saturday in the scramble format at the PNC Championship to take a share of the first-round lead.
The duo (and with Tiger’s daughter Sam on the bag) combined for 13 birdies and didn’t drop a shot in the best-ball format at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
Coming off his sixth back procedure, Woods swung without limitation and, if his partner was in trouble, routinely hit the momentum-sustaining shot. Charlie, a high school sophomore, got hot with the putter in the middle of the round to compliment a few of his booming drives.
