Tiger and Charlie Woods did what they needed to do. Despite each battling injury throughout Saturday’s opening round of the PNC Championship, Team Woods carded 13-under 59 to stay within striking distance of the lead into Sunday. Justin and Mike Thomas held the opening-round lead at 15-under 57, with Team Woods sharing second place with Vijay and Qass Singh. Team Woods and Team Thomas will play in Sunday’s final group at Ritz-Carlton GC, teeing off at 11:05 a.m. ET. Team Woods finished runner-up at last year’s PNC Championship, two strokes back of John Daly and John Daly II, and will aim to do one spot better Sunday in central Florida.

Charlie leaves his approach short, but dad takes care of things with a high wedge that lands soft and settles within 6 feet. Sporting a red sweater, Charlie putts first and misses on the right side. Tiger studies it intently but also misses the left-ro-right slider on the right side. A disappointing par for Team Woods considering the opportunity, but the silver lining is that Team Thomas makes par as well. Pace is kept.

Team Woods finds the fairway to begin the proceedings, and a wedge to 6 feet leaves a short-range birdie try. Charlie putts first and misses, but Tiger handles with no problem. Team Thomas also makes birdie, though, to remain two strokes clear of the Woods duo. Team Woods, 14-under (1-under Sunday thru 1) Leader: Team Thomas, 16-under
