The PGA Tour golf leaderboard at the WGC-Cadillac Championship has Jason Dufner and Harris English in the lead after the first round of play was suspended ahead of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and the rest of the field due to darkness and bad weather and now the tournament will be streaming online with a live stream of the rest of the first and second rounds on Friday from Doral.
English was the lone player in the top 10 to finish and Dufner was through 16 holes and he was tied for first with a handful of players at three under. Woods finished his day on Thursday with a two over to sit five back on the leaderboard and his round was cut short after 10 holes and that included eight pars and two bogeys and his last hole of the day was a bogey and now he will have to find a way to get back on track. Adam Scott can yank the number one ranking from Woods with a win and if Woods finishes sixth or worst and that could happen if he continues playing how he has this year so far.
Woods came into the match with question marks after he was injured and withdrew from the Honda Classic last weekend and this is a tournament he won last year at Doral and now he is looking to get back on track after a very tough start to the season. Last year Woods won three times ahead of the Masters and that included at the WGC as well as the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines and he had a tough go of it there while finishing 80th this year and missing the secondary cut. Woods then had a rough go in Dubai and he finished 41st and he wasn't sharp at the Honda Classic and ended up withdrawing for the sixth time in his career with a back injury.
Woods took back his number one ranking last year from Rory McIlroy after playing some of the best golf of his career, but he once again did not win a major and now the pressure is on him as the Masters is ahead on the schedule. Woods said he might add another tournament to his schedule before the event this year, but that was before his back injury and even though he is playing at Doral, he may want to take it easy to ensure that he plays in the event.
Last year Woods was looking like he could be in contention, but then he hit the flag and his ball went in the water and he was forced to drop a ball for a shot and the rest is history. That controversy was a mess all over and luckily for Tiger he didn't win that tournament because too many people would holler about it being tainted and that would have been fair at all to Woods and this year is not shaping up to be the one when he wins at Augusta, as he has been sloppy at every tournament he has played in.
