CAN TIGER BE CAUGHT AT HAZELTINE ?

World No1 Tiger Woods looks to be on target to collect his 15th Major title as he is already 4 shots clear of the field at the half way stage of the US PGA CHAMPIONSHIP at HAZELTINE.
He led after a 67 -5 in round one and on a windy and tricky scoring day he birdied the 14th,15th and 16th for a second round of 70-2 to lead on -7 and open up a 4 shot gap to a bunch of 4 players on -4.
They include defending champion,Padraig Harrington 73,US Open winner Lucas Glover 70,Englands Ross Fisher 68,Vijay Singh 72 and Aussie Brandon Jones 70.

Things are not looking good for the chasing pack,as Tiger has never been beaten in his last 8 tournaments when he was leading at the half way stage.

Harrington has been playing great golf the last two weeks and he should be the biggest threat to Tiger over the weekend.Despite dropping 3 shots in a row he still managed to keep in touch with a second round 73 to go with his opening 68.
Rory McIlroy got a poor start but he showed his class by making 5 birdies on his way to a 36 hole total of 144 level par.
Graeme McDowell got 2 early biries to join Tiger on -4 but fell back to +1 145 after he made 6 bogies and only one futher birdie.
Darren Clarke played good golf last week at The Bridgestone challenge and gained an invitation to the PGA this week.He couldn't handle the conditions and failed to make the +4 cut after rounds of 78/76 +10.
