Woods ‘worn out’ after second-place finish

-

Tiger Woods admitted he was feeling “worn out” after coming second with son Charlie at the PNC Championsh­ip.

The 45-year-old has been undergoing extensive rehabilita­tion since sustaining serious leg and ankle injuries in a car accident in February.

Woods made his first competitiv­e appearance since playing in the same tournament last December and finished runner-up on 25 under, two shots behind John Daly and his son John Daly II in Orlando.

Woods told pgatour.com: “I’m just happy and thankful I’m able to do this.

“I still have my own leg, which was questionab­le for a while.

“I’m just really tired. I’m not used to this.

“This is my fifth round of golf this year. I’m a little worn out.

“The fact I had my son there, he’s an unbelievab­le player and partner.

“We had a great strategy going in.

“I thought we were going to be in there, our whole goal was never to make a bogey and we never made one.

“We got on a run which was great and it got interestin­g and tight towards the end.”

● North-east golfer Laura Beveridge is one of only two Scots to progress to the final round of Ladies European Tour Q School at La Manga.

With 20 tour cards up for grabs, Hazel Macgarvie and Beveridge are wellplaced heading into the fifth and final day.

England’s Meghan Maclaren leads by one on eight under with Macgarvie sitting tied 10th on two under while Beveridge is tied 18th on one over.

But it was disappoint­ment for Nethy Bridge golfer Hannah Mccook who failed to make the fourth round cut with only the top 65 and ties progressin­g.

Mccook posted a 78 on the South Course to drop to tied 66th on nine over overall and miss out by a single shot.
