SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Brendon Todd birdied his last four holes Friday for an 8-under 63 and a share of the lead with Harry Higgs and Scottie Scheffler after the second round of the inaugural Bermuda Championship. RELATED: Leaderboard | Tee times Todd finished on the front nine at hilly and breezy Port Royal Golf Club, also birdieing Nos. 2 and 4. Higgs shot a 65, closing with a birdie on the par-4 18th. Scheffler, the first-round leader after a 62, had a 69. They were at 11-under 131. “It’s one of the shorter ones we play on the TOUR and it forces everybody to hit the ball with the same clubs off the tee,” Todd said. “The good thing about that for me is, I’m hitting the same clubs into the greens as everybody else and for some reason that tends to work out well in my favor. So, the course is good for me, for my game, and I’ve been swinging well.” Todd won the 2014 AT&T Byron Nelson for his lone PGA TOUR title. He regained his card in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. “Having more full status again this year, the goal really is to get in contention as many times as I can and get another win because that’s the easiest way to keep your card, get back to where I want to be, which is playing in the big events,” Todd said. “I think this is a good opportunity for us to come out here and get in contention and practice a little bit, see what that feels like.” Higgs and Scheffler each won last season on the Korn Ferry Tour. “I didn’t have my best stuff today,” Scheffler said “I didn’t really. My swing didn’t feel too good, didn’t really make a lot of putts, but still shot 2 under. Hung in there pretty well and posted a decent number, so in good position going into the weekend.” Higgs, Bryson DeChambeau’s teammate at SMU, is the only player without a bogey the first two days. “I’ve had a good progression from Latin America to a good year on the Korn Ferry Tour, and now it’s just kind of seeing how my game stacks up,” Higgs said. “I’ve had good enough results to where I think it certainly does. And this will be nice, this is my sixth event, to at least have a decent chance of winning to kind of really see how you stack up, see how well you can think, how well you can manage all the other non-golf stuff.” Aaron Wise (65), Boo Weekley (66) and Wes Roach (69) were a stroke back.
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Tiger Woods is back. Today’s opening round of the PGA Championship is his first competitive round since his memorable victory at the Masters. Woods said he feels “rested and readyâ€� after taking four weeks to enjoy his first major victory in more than a decade. He’ll need all the energy he can muster to tackle a big and brawny Black Course at Bethpage State Park. The 7,459-yard layout is playing even longer because of cold, wet conditions. Penal rough will make finding fairways even more important, especially with so many elevated greens. RELATED: Leaderboard | Tee times | Tiger ‘rested and ready’ | Rethinking Tiger’s future | Tiger ‘welcomes’ playing in Olympics Woods is playing the first two rounds with Francesco Molinari and Brooks Koepka, a group that features the past three major winners. They’re accustomed to facing each other in golf’s Grand Slam events. Koepka and Molinari finished second to Woods at the Masters. It was Koepka who held off Woods at last year’s PGA, and Molinari played alongside Woods en route to victory at The Open. This may be a new date and new site for the PGA Championship, but it is familiar territory for Woods. He won the 2002 U.S. Open here. That’s the only year he won the first two majors of the year. Once again, he’s trying to start the season with major wins at Augusta National and Bethpage Black. History may be on his side. The last time the PGA was played in May, the winner was the same man who’d won the Masters a month earlier. That was Sam Snead in 1949. Woods can tie Snead’s record for PGA TOUR victories (82) this week. He’s also seeking his 16th major championship. Stay here for live updates of his round.
