PGA Championship 2013 Tee Times: Pairings and Predictions for Saturday

Joseph ZuckerJun 2, 2018

Round 2 of the 2013 PGA Championship is officially in the books, and it was a round to remember.

Jason Dufner played some of the best golf of his life. His seven-under 63 was tied for the lowest round ever at a major tournament, per SportsCenter.

Had he made his birdie putt on the 18th hole, he would have finished with an unprecedented 62. While it was no doubt a disappointment for Dufner, he's still probably pretty happy with his 63, putting him two strokes ahead of the three golfers tied for second place.

It's not the first two rounds of majors that are remembered, though. Dufner's fantastic performance on Friday will lose a lot of its impact if he doesn't go on to win the tournament.

The weekend promises to be some enthralling golf, as the leaderboard is very packed at the top. The slightest stumble by Dufner, and you'll see a host of other golfers who will make the ascent up to the top.

Here's the tee times and pairings for Round 3, followed by three predictions you can take to the bank.

Predictions

Tiger Woods Won't Move Up the Leaderboard

Tiger Woods has had a forgettable PGA Championship. He went one over for the first round and followed that up with a round of even par. It's now the sixth round and Woods has failed to break par at Oak Hill during PGA Championships, per ESPN Stats and Info.

Quite simply, Woods has been very mediocre during the tournament.

Every time he shows a flash of greatness that makes you think that the old Tiger's back, he follows it up with a poor shot.

Given how many golfers had an easy time with the soggy course, it's a bit of a surprise that Woods wasn't able to do any better. The greens weren't moving all that fast, yet Woods really had a hard time with his putts, reaching a nadir with his three-putt on the 14th hole.

It's not going to get any easier during the weekend. There's been nothing in Woods' game that would make you think he's going to get it together at Oak Hill.

Jason Dufner Will Struggle in Round 3

Setting a course record and tying for the lowest one-round score at a major is great and all, but now the question is whether or not Jason Dufner will be able to hang onto the lead throughout the weekend.

The recent track record hasn't been good for golfers in Dufner's position, per ESPN Stats and Info.

There's little chance Dufner will take a precipitous drop down the leaderboard, but he's going to struggle to find the magic he had on Friday.

Everybody who's ever played sports has had that one day when it all came together. You find yourself in the zone, and everything all of a sudden becomes that much easier. That's what happened with Dufner in Round 2. Everything was clicking for him, and he could do no wrong.

Unfortunately for him, Dufner very well may have peaked after the first two rounds. He'll hover around par on Saturday, which will see him eventually overtaken for the lead.

The Scores Will Level Off on Saturday

Storms led to what was a somewhat soggy course that dried up a bit as the day went on. For many golfers, Oak Hill couldn't have been any better in terms of the course conditions. The greens weren't too fast and the bounces were pretty friendly.

According to Weather.com, the chance of rain for Saturday is only 10 percent, so it should be a much quicker course and less amenable to the golfers.

You're not going to see guys scoring 63, 64 or 65. The third round will be much like the first, where you had a lot of 68s, 69s and 70s, with the occasional 66 thrown in there.

It's standard to see the leaders falling off the deeper you get into a tournament, especially majors. They generally become about who can survive, rather than who will have a spectacular round. You're going to start seeing some of those leaders start to tumble on Saturday.
