In what counts as an upset in 2022, Southern Hills claims golf's hot hand while Woods rallies to reach the weekend.
Scheffler, with his whopping four wins since Feb. 13, his other gaudy finishes this season and his runaway world ranking of No. 1, did sit at a stable 1 over par Friday after playing holes Nos. 10-18 with nine pars. That followed on his 1-over 71 of Thursday. He wasn’t contending, but he wasn’t collapsing. He was handling the wind like a Texan.
Oddly, in the run-up, Scheffler had said of Southern Hills: “I’m pretty familiar. I played two college events here [for the University of Texas] and one amateur event, and I came out a couple of weeks ago and played a practice round.”Asked whether he ranked the course his favorite, he said, “Everyone has their favorites, and Southern Hills is definitely one of mine.”
Instead, he joined the legions of the cut, below the line of 4 over par here on the 7,556-yard torture chamber. Those included Johnson whose 6 over was built on two 73s; Patrick Cantlay, the No. 5 player in the world whose 21 majors include two top-10 finishes, and who concluded at 11 over; as well as Lee Westwood, Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott.
. He got to No. 11 at 3 over par, a sweet 1 under for the day after his opening 74 of Thursday and his descriptions of ample pain in his rebuilt right lower leg.Then the par-3 No. 11 hit, and Woods’s 8-iron off the tee went grossly left into some areas nobody wants to visit, including one of those drawn hazard lines that decorate golf courses. From beside a creek there, he chipped onto the green but into a green-side bunker. From the bunker, he knocked it to eight feet.
