Tiger Woods at PGA Championship 2015: Saturday Leaderboard Score and Reaction

A rain delay couldn't save Tiger Woods at the 2015 PGA Championship, as he failed to make up the necessary ground Saturday morning and missed his third straight major cut. He finished the second round at four over par, two strokes off the projected cut line.

Inclement weather forced the tournament to suspend the remaining portion of Round 2 late Friday. It gave Woods a chance to regroup with the knowledge he likely needed to drop at least two strokes over his last five holes to play the final two rounds. He couldn't conquer the task.

Let's check out the scorecard for his second trip around Whistling Straits this week along with an updated look at the PGA Championship leaderboard. That's followed by a recap of his attempt to make a charge toward the cut line Saturday.

Day 3 Recap

Woods restarted the second round with his third shot on the 14th hole after missing the green from the fairway. The errant approach shot suggested the delay came at the right time, but he still wasn't able to get up and down for par, dropping another stroke right away after play resumed.

The continued struggles in Round 2 likely served as further frustration for the 39-year-old American. He talked about getting the feel for his ball-striking back following the opening 18 holes, as noted by Steve DiMeglio of USA Today.

"The good news is I have complete control of the golf ball, even in the conditions that toughened up out there," Woods said Thursday. "But I just never had the speed on the greens. I just have to find the speed somehow."

Whatever progress he felt to open the event didn't translate to better results over the next two days.

After the bogey on No. 14, Woods really needed to find another gear to make up the necessary strokes, and it didn't happen. Once he failed to take advantage of the par-five 16th, where an eagle could have changed the outlook, it became clear he was heading home early.

Golf Channel's Tiger Tracker discussed the difference between Tiger's comments and the results:

The 14-time major champion did make a birdie on the 17th after his tee shot on the par three left him a mid-range birdie putt that he rolled home. He could have used some of those putts early in Round 1 when he kept finding the green but got nothing out of it.

His week finished with a par on the final hole. Grant Boone of CBS Sports passed along a terrific stat about Woods' latest missed cut:

ESPN's Darren Rovell illustrated how much of a gap there's been between Woods and the player making his case to assume the throne atop the sport:

As for the season as a whole, he didn't come close to adding major No. 15 to his resume, as Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News showed:

Looking ahead, Woods could play the Wyndham Championship next week. Bob Harig of ESPN reports he's not fully committed despite entering the event Friday, which kept the option available. It would be his last chance to make a charge toward the PGA Tour playoffs. Will Gray of the Golf Channel pointed out he'd likely have to win the event to make the playoffs:

Otherwise, he's looking at a long offseason, as some key decisions will need to be made. Whether to keep swing coach Chris Como is at the top of the list after a disappointing season where any step forward quickly became offset by two steps in the wrong direction.

Woods still features the necessary talent to contend, and he's avoided injury problems this season, but the consistency just isn't there. He won't be a threat for any major titles until it returns. Missing three straight cuts on golf's biggest stages shows how much work he needs to do.
