The Latest: Woods will miss cut, head home from PGA

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — The Latest from the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits (all times local):

8:31 a.m.

No big surprise — Tiger Woods is heading home.

He played the last five holes of the second round at the PGA Championship at even par to finish at 4-over 148.

That is two outside the expected cut line. Woods will miss the cut for the third straight time in a major.

That has never happened before.

Matt Jones of Australia is 11 under with one hole to play, good for a two-shot lead over Jason Day, who wrapped up a round of 5-under 67 this morning.

There are a handful of groups finishing up the second round, which was suspended last night because of rain. Shortly after they’re done, the third round will begin.

Now, it’s Matt Jones in the lead at the PGA Championship.

Jones made a birdie to get to 10 under for the tournament, while fellow Aussie Jason Day finished his second round with a bogey and is in the clubhouse at 9-under 135.

About 60 players came back to Whistling Straits early this morning to finish the second round, which was suspended when a strong storm hit late Friday afternoon.

Jones will take a long break before teeing off for the third round later this afternoon.

Tiger Woods almost certainly won’t be around much longer. Returning for a 7 a.m. restart, he failed to get up and down from the rough on No. 14 and settled for bogey. He was at 4 over heading into his final hole. The projected cut was 2 over, so unless Woods holes out from the 18th fairway for an eagle, he’ll be done for the week.

Jason Day has a good chance of heading into the third round of the PGA Championship with the lead.

Tiger Woods has virtually no chance of sticking around for more than another hour or so.

Golf has started back up at Whistling Straits. About 60 players came back early this morning to finish the second round.

Day made a birdie on the par-5 16th hole to get to 10 under par. That puts him alone in the lead, one shot ahead of Matt Jones.

And Woods? He failed to get up and down from the rough on No. 14 and settled for bogey. That dropped him to 5 over, which is three shots outside of the projected cut line.
