Seems all the early practice Tiger Woods had at Southern Hills has paid off. The King Of Golf tied a major championship record while John Daly hung out in the woods and bushes as his lead disappeared. ESPN is there:

Woods matched the major championship record with a 63 in the PGA Championship on Friday, turning away in disbelief when a 15-foot birdie putt on the final hole spun 270 degrees around the cup that would have given him the record alone.

Of greater interest is adding to his collection of majors, and Woods took a big step on a steamy afternoon with eight birdies and one key par save that carried him to a two-shot lead over Scott Verplank.

John Daly put on a different show, whipping out driver and lumbering through the rough and the trees to find it. He hit enough good shots to salvage a 73 that left him six shots behind and asking an important question.

“How do you cool Tiger off?”

Give him a drink buddy.
