Tiger Woods works way up leaderboard at Hero World Challenge

NASSAU, Bahamas – Tiger Woods had just signed for a second-round 66 and done all his interviews when he decamped for the short-game practice area at Albany Golf Club. He’d gone seven for seven in scrambling to get within six of leader Patrick Reed (66) at the Hero World Challenge, an unofficial event he has won five times. But that wasn’t enough. With caddie Joe LaCava and a couple of security guards standing by, he hit pitch after pitch with the sun low in the sky. A handful of fans stood outside the ropes, watching him work. The moment was a reminder that whatever else Woods is – tournament host this week, captain of the U.S. Presidents Cup Team next week, 44 years old later this month, catalyst for the ONE Bahamas Fund to support relief and rebuilding efforts for those affected by Hurricane Dorian – he is still, unmistakably, a player. He’s at 82 official PGA TOUR victories, and 15 major championships, and he is very, very serious about nudging those totals upward still in 2020. “I just think it was less windy,â€� he said of his score being six shots better than the day before. “It was a little bit easier today. Scoring conditions were a little bit better. “I didn’t hit the ball as well as I would like starting out, missed a few greens,â€� he added. “Other than No. 2, I missed all the – every green in the correct spot, so I had easy chips and I had to make a couple. But I got it going on that back nine, which is nice.â€� Woods made eagle at the par-5 11th hole, birdied three of the next five holes, and managed to par the difficult 18th, which he’d double-bogeyed the day before. His sharpness comes as no surprise, given that he won the ZOZO Championship in his last start (No. 82), but it is a comfort, knowing that at the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne he will be the U.S. Team’s first playing captain since 1994. He was on the short game area at Albany for over an hour, and one sensed it was serving dual purposes. Related: Leaderboard | Reed leads after second-round 66 | Els to go with gut on Woods’ singles matchup Yes, Woods was working on his game, but he was also in a sort of contemplative bubble amid the swirl of activity that is his life. When will he play? When will he captain? Which of his assistants (Steve Stricker, Fred Couples, Zach Johnson) will he deputize to fulfill the captain’s role while he’s out there between the ropes with a club in his hand? As he hit pitch after pitch, such questions could wait. “Yeah, I’m playing a minimum of two,â€� he’d told reporters, when asked how many matches he would play. “Does that help you?â€� He smiled, and everyone laughed along. (All team members must play twice, at minimum.) The laughter died down. “We have gameplans for next week,â€� he continued. “We’ve got guys that haven’t played. DJ’s coming off an injury, a surgery. We’re going to take it day by day, see how guys feel. We’re going to communicate with one another and work through it.â€� Was it good to see captain’s pick Reed playing so well? Yes, Woods said, adding that he was doing so with a new set of irons and new putter this week. Are players already experimenting with each other’s golf balls for the foursomes at Royal Melbourne? Yes, again. How has his game improved since getting surgery on his left knee in August? “I can drive the ball a little bit better because I can rotate,â€� he said, “and I can putt the ball better because I can get down and read putts again.â€� His game, he added, felt sharp coming into the Hero, and it still does. “His swing right now is so smooth,â€� said Bubba Watson (73, 1 over total), who played with Woods in the second round. “It’s pretty nice to watch.â€� With so many variables in play this week and next, and so many question marks going into the Presidents Cup, Woods can count on the one thing that’s almost always carried him through: His game is there.

The First Look: The RSM ClassicThe First Look: The RSM Classic

The RSM Classic is the final PGA TOUR event of the year, bringing the fall schedule to a close in the idyllic seaside setting of Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Robert Streb returns to defend last year’s win, the second of his career and second at Sea Island. He’ll have to fend off a top-notch field to collect The RSM hat trick, including plenty of Sea Island residents who are full of local knowledge and hungry to win in front of a home crowd. FIELD NOTES: Scottie Scheffler hopes his hot play — including a course-record 62 in the second round of the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open and fourth-place finish in the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba — continues at Sea Island… Each of the last six winners of The RSM Classic are returning… Some of the major champs in the field include Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen, Jason Day, Jimmy Walker, and Webb Simpson, who lost in a playoff at Sea Island in 2019. This is Scott’s debut at Sea Island… Fellow major winners and FedExCup champions in the field include Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson… Tournament host Davis Love III will play once again this year after sitting on the sidelines last season due to a neck injury. Love also is the U.S. captain for the 2022 Presidents Cup… Sponsor exemptions including Vaughn Taylor, Camilo Villegas, Ludvig Adberg and Davis Thompson… Villegas was part of a five-man playoff at the 2016 RSM Classic, which Mackenzie Hughes won after play was extended to Monday because of darkness. Villegas also was the first-round leader at last year’s RSM, eventually finishing T6… Aberg, the world’s third-ranked amateur, is a junior at Texas Tech. He recently played the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, where he opened with back-to-back 68s before fading to T51… Thompson is the son of The RSM Classic’s tournament director, Todd Thompson. Davis represented the United States in this year’s Walker Cup and finished second in the PGA TOUR University ranking. He recently finished T39 at Korn Ferry Tour Q-School to earn guaranteed starts for 2022. He also finished T23 in the 2019 RSM while still an amateur… There are a ton of guys in the field who call Sea Island home including U.S. Ryder Cup team member Harris English, Patton Kizzire, J.T. Poston, Keith Mitchell, Hudson Swafford, and Greyson Sigg. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 FedExCup points. COURSE: Sea Island Resort (Seaside), 7,005 yards, par 70; Sea Island Resort (Plantation), 7,060 yards, par 72. Yardage subject to change. Tom Fazio redid the Seaside Course, an oceanside links-style layout, in 1999, while tournament host Davis Love III and his brother Mark redesigned the Plantation Course, which weaves through low-country marshland, for 2019. STORYLINES: The last three RSM Classics have gone into a playoff. In fact, six of the 11 tournaments at Sea Island needed extra holes… Streb became the first two-time winner of The RSM Classic when he won last year. Five of the 10 winners at Sea Island made the tournament their first PGA TOUR victory… This fall has been dominated by international winners, with players from outside the United States winning five of the first seven tournaments of the season… Despite the fact that there are a ton of TOUR pros who call Sea Island home, none have won The RSM Classic… Can Webb Simpson finally win The RSM Classic? The 2018 PLAYERS Champion has had four top-10s at Sea Island, including two playoff losses. 72-HOLE RECORD: 260, Kevin Kisner (2015) 18-HOLE RECORD: 60, Tommy Gainey (4th round, 2012) LAST TIME: Rober Streb won his second PGA TOUR title, six years after he claimed his maiden TOUR victory at Sea Island. Streb took down Kevin Kisner on the second hole of their sudden-death playoff after Streb knocked a wedge to within inches. Streb held the 36- and 54-hole leads and shot a solid 2-under 68 on Sunday. Kisner zipped up the leaderboard with a 7-under 63 – he erased a five-shot deficit by notching five birdies in his first 10 holes Sunday – to finish tied with Streb at 19 under. The breakthrough victory came after nearly a half-decade of struggles for Streb, who had finished outside the top 125 on the FedExCup from 2018 to 2020. Cameron Tringale finished third after a Sunday 62 – the round of the day. Bernd Wiesberger, a member of this year’s European Ryder Cup team, and Andrew Landry rounded out the top five.

DeChambeau says he “understood a little bit more how to play Open Championship-style golf” and could have shot 9 under if he’d been better on the greens.
