Tiger plans to tee it up in PGA Championship

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Tiger Woods already has missed two major championships this year. He doesn’t plan on missing the last one.

Woods has formally entered the PGA Championship, to be played Aug. 11-14 at Atlanta Athletic Club. He has been out of golf for nearly three months so that injuries to his left leg can properly heal. He will make his return next week in the World Golf Championship event at Firestone.

PGA spokesman Julius Mason said Friday that Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg, told him that as long as everything goes well at Firestone and there are no complications to his left leg, that Woods intends to play the PGA.

 

Masson leads Open

CARNOUSTIE — Germany’s Caroline Masson shot a bogey-free 65 to take a surprise lead after the second round of the Women’s British Open on Friday.

Playing in the last group, the 22-year-old Masson bagged seven birdies to move 11-under at 133, one stroke clear of South Korea’s Inbee Park and Meena Lee.

“Unbelievable right now,” was Masson’s reaction after her round. “I’ve just had two great days out there and I’m very happy to be playing so well.”

Weir back on DL

TORONTO — A slight tear in the tendon of Mike Weir’s right elbow has forced him out of at least one more PGA Tour event.

Doctors have advised the lefty from Bright’s Grove, Ont., to take a couple of weeks off, forcing him to pull out of next week’s Reno-Tahoe Open.

Weir has battled injuries for the better part of a year and was forced to withdraw from last week’s RBC Canadian Open after suffering the latest setback.

The 41-year-old will rehab the injury with ice and therapy.

 

Party over for Clarke

KILLARNEY, Ireland — Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke crashed out of the Irish Open, but countrymen Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell both made the cut on Friday.

Germany’s Marcel Siem took the second-round lead at 10 under after a 66. India’s Jeev Milkha Singh, who only managed a 70 after Thursday’s 63, and Denmark’s Soeren Hansen (66) are one shot back.

Clarke won the British Open two weeks ago.
