Aaron Baddeley: Tiger Woods
built 633 days ago
It was devastating to Baddeley, playing head-to-head with Woods for the first time since the U.S. Open at Oakmont, when Baddeley had a two-shot lead and shot 80. That was a distant memory on a cloudy afternoon, for Baddeley recovered from a shaky start by making eight birdies in a nine-hole stretch, one of them conceded when Woods journeyed through the desert.

The last time the two were in the same pair, Baddeley shot 80 in the final round of the U.S. Open. On Friday there was no such collapse. He made 10 birdies and on No. 17, 18 and 19 had putts that would have put him in the lead or won the match. He missed all three, allowing Woods to hang around.

Stricker was paired with Woods for the first two rounds and would have played with him again today, but Baddeley birdied Nos. 17 and 18 to pass Woods. So it will be Stricker and Baddeley going off the tee last at 1 p.m., preceded by Woods and Rose at 12:50.

Woods nailed a 13-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Friday to chase off Aaron Baddeley and advance to the round of eight. Woods will take on South Korean standout K.J. Choi this morning. The winner will play this afternoon for a chance at the championship match.

Baddeley took his first lead with a 12-foot birdie on the 14th, after Woods missed from 15 feet. From there, the Aussie played away from the dangerous slopes to the center of the green, making Woods beat him.

Baddeley has made the cut in only three of his previous 10 majors, his best finish a tie for 52nd at the Masters this year. The 26-year-old Australian will play with Woods for the third time in a major, but the first time on a Sunday.
