PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- The noise echoed off the hospitality suites as Tiger Woods emerged from a tunnel and onto the 17th tee at PGA National late Friday afternoon, a sun-baked gallery of thousands in full throat.
They were roaring for Woods, who was faced with the unenviable task of hitting one of the toughest tee shots on the course, a 185-yard approach over a pond into a howling wind.
A total of 36 balls found the water there Friday, but Woods carved a 5-iron up into the air and watched it fade toward the hole, stopping 10 feet away. When he rolled in the birdie putt -- one of just nine there all day -- the screaming onlookers let loose.
It was vintage Tiger, and while there are still plenty of obstacles for him to overcome in his comeback from spinal fusion surgery, Friday's effort in the second-round of the Honda Classic was a promising sign.
