2012 PGA Championship: Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh Tied For Lead At Kiawah

2012 PGA Championship: Notable Names Atop The Leaderboard Heading Into The Weekend

The 2012 PGA Championship continues Saturday with third-round action. Tiger Woods finds himself atop the leaderboard heading into the weekend, tied for the lead at 4-under with Vijay Singh and Carl Pettersson.

Woods shot a 1-under 69 on Friday, one of only four rounds under par on the day. Singh shot the lowest round, vaulting into a share of the lead with a 3-under 67. Woods and Singh aren't the only notable players near the top of the leaderboard. Ian Poulter and Rory McIlroy are also near the lead. Poulter is in fourth place at 3-under while McIlroy is tied for fifth place at 2-under.

Adam Scott struggled some on Friday, shooting a 3-over 73, but he still finds himself in a decent position, tied for seventh place at 1-under overall. Phil Mickelson shot a 1-under 69 on Friday and heads into the weekend four strokes off the lead at even par.

Television coverage of Saturday's third round will begin on TNT from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET. Coverage will then shift to CBS from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. ET.

2012 PGA Championship: Joost Luiten Is Holding Up Tee Times

Wondering why there are no tee times for Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship? It's Joost Luiten's fault. You may not know Luiten -- though he did shoot to the top of the leaderboard on Thursday -- but you'll probably get to know him soon. After all, he's the one holding up play at the moment.

Here's the situation: Luiten, already having a bad day, opted not to play the 18th on Friday. It was getting dark and play was technically suspended for darkness. His playing partners went ahead and finished up their rounds, but Luiten opted not to.

It should be noted that Thomas Aiken, one of his partners, missed the cut but recorded a par on 18. His other playing partner, Alan Morin, was nowhere near making the cut and bogeyed 18.

Luiten was already 5-over for the day by the time he got to 18, so maybe he was hoping to wakeup and try and birdie the hole on Saturday. Or maybe he was just angry. Whatever the case, he didn't want to play. And as a result, his Saturday is kind of going to be a pain in the butt.

Most professionals like to sprint, basically, to get 18 in if play is about to be called for darkness. It's not fun to get up at the crack of dawn to finish a round, only to turn around and play the next round a few hours later. That's time that could be better spent sleeping in.

So here we are, with the second round not technically complete. Luiten is inside the cut line by a comfortable margin, but has to come back and play the 18th at 7:30 a.m. Because his performance will determine the tee times, the PGA Tour can't release them. We do, however, know that Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh will be in the final pairing. Both are tied for the lead at 4-under.

PGA Championship Cut Line: Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Others Miss Cut In Tough Kiawah Field

Martin Kaymer is two years removed from winning the PGA Championship, but this year he won't even be playing on Sunday. He's not alone: many notable names failed to make the cut and won't be playing going forward.

The cut-line was at 6-over and Kaymer more than doubled that at 14-over. But the course at Kiawah Island took more victims: Sergio Garcia and Lee Westwood were a stroke off continuing play at 7-over, with Hunter Mahan at 8-over also finished for the tournament. Rickie Fowler shot 10-over, so his tournament is done, which is a bummer for any teenagers attending the tournament with bright-colored Puma hats. Fowler was tied with Matt Kuchar at 10-over.

The world number one barely made the cut, as Luke Donald came into the clubhouse at 6-over for the first two rounds, managing to avoid an embarrassing exit.

2012 PGA Championship: Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Carl Pettersson Tied Atop Leaderboard

Tiger Woods is on top of a leaderboard at a major! Caveats: there's still 36 rounds of golf to play and he's in a three-way tie. But it's progress nonetheless for the golfer who hasn't won a major since 2009.

Woods was in sole possession of first for most of the back nine on Friday, but he bogeyed the 18th to finish 1-under par and at 4-under on the championship. He's tied with Carl Pettersson - who led at the beginning of the day, but was 2-over for the round - and Vijay Singh. Ian Poulter is one stroke off the lead after also bogeying the 18th hole, closely followed by Rory McIlroy and Jamie Donaldson at 2-under.

Obviously there's an awful lot of golf left to be played, but Woods is looking in form, especially his short game. After a few close calls at majors, it might be his time to finally win again.

PGA Championship 2012 Projected Cut: Current Line Set At 6-Over

With Day 2 of the 2012 PGA Championship wrapping up, the projected cut is currently set at 6-over. Should the cut-line hold, the likes Webb Simpson (plus-7), Lee Westwood (plus-7) and Matt Kuchar (plus-10) will all be heading home early from the tricky Kiawah Island Ocean Course in South Carolina.

Those currently on the bubble at 6-over include Luke Donald (final), Sang Moon Bae (final), Dustin Johnson (through 17) and David Toms (final).

The top 70 lowest scores at the PGA Championship, including ties, are allowed to play the tournament's final two days of competition. Ten players are currently tied for 70th place, six of which are still playing. If any one of those six should make birdie, the cut line would drop down to 5-over, putting nine more players in jeopardy.

PGA Championship 2012: Tiger Woods Takes Lead

The afternoon wave of the PGA Championship's second round is underway, and noted golf enthusiast Tiger Woods is making a charge up the leaderboard on a difficult Kiawah Island Ocean Course. After a double bogey by Gary Woodland, he's on top of it.

Woods is 2-under through his first four holes of the day and is now 5-under for the tournament. Woodland sits at 4-under with four other golfers, including clubhouse leader Vijay Singh.

Tiger's success to this point has been by virtue of his red-hot putter, which has translated to 30 putts in his last 24 holes of golf.

Meanwhile, 49-year-old Singh has been the story of the day, and Japan's Ryo Ishikawa is also playing well, currently at 4-under.
