PGA: Woods slips again on major stage

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Tiger Woods finished another disappointing round with another bogey Friday, then headed straight to the practice range.


There was a lot of work to do.


Unfortunately for Woods, it's probably too late to do anything about another major championship slipping away.


Woods plodded through an even-par 70 at Oak Hill when there were 60s all over the place, leaving him a daunting 10 shots behind leader Jason Dufner heading to the weekend of the PGA Championship.


Making the task even more difficult, there were 37 players between Dufner, who was at 9-under 131, and Woods.


"Just the way it goes," Woods said. "Obviously, I need to hit it better than I have."


He has yet to break par through two days on a course that was ripe for the taking, the greens softened by plenty of rain and receptive to iron shots from the world's best players.
