Tiger Woods Surges to 3-Under Before PGA Championship Play Suspended Friday

Tiger Woods only got in seven holes before play was suspended due to inclement weather Friday at the PGA Championship in St. Louis, but he made the most of it.

Woods was on fire to start his second round, shooting a three-under on the day to move to that same score for the tournament. He's currently tied for 23rd overall, with Gary Woodland sitting atop the leaderboard at 10-under.

Woods wasted little time starting his climb with birdies on Nos. 2 and 3: 

He wasn't done there, putting in another birdie on No. 5: 

Woods will have to hope he can bottle his early magic for Saturday morning when play resumes at 8 a.m. ET. The third round will also feature threesomes off the first and 10th tees. 

He has been playing well of late, however. He finished fourth at the Quicken Loans National and sixth at the British Open. While Woods wasn't as sharp at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, finishing 31st, he continues to look better than he has in years.

Woods hasn't won a tournament since 2013. He has a long climb to go if he's going to pull out a victory in the PGA Championship, but he looked capable of making the long climb back early in Round 2.
