Bo Van Pelt Takes Lead At Quail Hollow, Tiger Woods Nine Behind
World's top golfer Tiger Woods is nine behind Bo Van Pelt after 74 at the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte, N.C., as he hit some superb shots yesterday.
Woods hit a tee shot into the water on the par-3 17th and hit the next tee shot into the water and winded up the day with a 2-over-par 74 to finish behind Van Pelt. “I hit a bunch of balls left, I hit a bunch of balls right, hit a few down the middle.And that was about it,’’ Woods said after the day's play.
Phil Mickelson, who had withdrawn from the pro-am on Wednesday due to stomach pain, two-putted for birdie to reach 4 under, only to three-putt on the 17th and made another bogey from the trees on the 18th for a 70. “I may have run out of energy there toward the end, but I hit some good shots and was able to shoot a decent round,’’ Mickelson said.
Kenny Perry shot a 66, Camilo Villegas played bogey-free for a 67, while former US Open champion Geoff Ogilvy, Billy Mayfair, and Brad Faxon, all finished at 68.
