Tigers Woods Claims Second Spot With Son On Competitive Return

Tiger Woods came in second in the PNC Championship tournament in Florida, just narrowly missing out on a victory on his comeback to competitive golf.

At the family tournament, 45-year-old Woods, and his 12-year-old son Charlie made 11 consecutive birdies to finish on 25 under par, two shots off the lead.

He was competing in his first tournament since sustaining career-ending injuries in a vehicle accident a year ago.

He later said, "I'm really glad and thankful that I'm able to accomplish this."

"I still have my own leg, which was questionable for a while, and it's functioning. I'm just really tired - I'm not used to this.

"I think this might be only my fourth or fifth round of golf this year. I'm a little worn out. It was nice to have a cart."

Woods revealed that he and his son set a pre-tournament goal of playing two bogey-free rounds, which they accomplished.

"We got on a run, which was great. Charlie was hitting the ball unbelievably and made a few putts. It got interesting and a little tight toward the end, which was fun," he said.

"He's an unbelievable player and partner."
