Tiger's mind on PGA shootout birdies, not 15th major win

Explore Business Standard

Tiger Woods wouldn't even contemplate how it would feel to win his 15th major title, his first in more than a decade, after leaping into contention at the PGA Championship.
The 42-year-old former world No 1 fired a four-under-par 66 in Saturday's third round at Belleville Country Club to share sixth on eight-under 202, four back of leader Brooks Koepka after 54 holes.
"A long way to go before that happens," Woods said when asked about a 15th major title.
"I've got to shoot a low round tomorrow and hopefully it will be enough."
"It's soft, it's gettable and you can't just go out there and make a bunch of pars. You're going to have to make some birdies."
"It was fun. I got off to a good start," he said. "That was nice to be able to do something like that. I just wish I could have got myself a couple more shots closer to the lead... but there aren't a lot of guys up there in front of me."
"It just felt like all that I remembered playing with Tiger all those years, you know, when he was winning tournaments. It was really no different."
