The PGA Tour is in Doral this week and the Leaderboard for the WGC-Cadillac Championship tournament has Jason Dufner, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson leading in round 2 over names like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott as things move towards the weekend and after the first round was pushed to Friday after darkness and weather.
The top part of the leaderboard is close together after the first day of play was delayed and now there has been plenty of action in round 2 on Friday and through the first part of the day, Jason Dufner, Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar were one up on Zach Johnson and they all were tied at three under for the tournament. Dufner had a solid day on Thursday before things got called off and he was three under for the day early, putting that up through four holes after being even for the round so far.
Francesco Molinari had the lead through 11 holes and he was tied on score with those names along with Hunter Mahan and Patrick Reed and everyone is looking to stay sharp and ahead of the weather in Florida at Doral. The course has been tough for some players and the wind has been whipping as well and TPC Blue Monster has lived up to its name for most of the field and right now Tiger Woods is just looking to get back on track and at this rate he will not be even thought about to be in contention for his first major in years when the Masters picks up.
Woods has been having a very tough start to the year and it is not what he predicted after the way things began for him last season, as he won three times on Tour ahead of the Masters, including the Cadillac. This year he flamed out at the Farmers Insurance Invitational and that was at Torrey Pines and that was a surprise when he missed the secondary cut, as he usually kills it there and this came after that was one of his three wins last season before the first major.
Woods ended up in 80th and didn't have to play Sunday and then in Dubai he was not as bad but it wasn't good, as he finished in 41st and that led into the Honda Classic, which did not go well either and he ended up needing his sixth career WD after coming down with a back injury and that almost kept him out of Doral this week. Tiger got back into things and now he has struggled again, putting up a 76 in the delayed first round and on Friday he battled tough weather and wind again.
Woods won back his number one seed last season from Rory McIlroy, but he could lose it again if he doesn't get back on track soon. The Masters are coming and the Arnold Palmer Invitational is coming up and he won that last year as well.
