Despite missing the cut at Valhalla, there were glimpses of the old Tiger Woods.

 

Despite missing the cut for just the fifth time in his career at the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods showed glimpses of his old self during his second round at Valhalla.

He came into the round with a chance of making the cut after shooting a first-round 72 this past weekend at the PGA Championship; good for a 1-over par round. He started his second round rocky, however, shooting 7-over across his first four holes. Holes two and four netted triple bogeys, only the second and third of his PGA Championship career. He soon calmed down and demonstrated why he still at times remains the same Tiger Woods.

On the par-3, 173-yard 8th, Tiger Woods almost aced the hole. The ball landed only four inches away from the cup after his tee shot. It was good for his second straight birdie after he had previously made one on the seventh. The shot on eight, garnered much praise and a loud roar from the crowd.

After the 7-over par start across his first four holes, Woods was able to settle down and shoot 1-under par the rest of the way, this includes his miraculous shot on the eighth.
