Tiger Woods, son Charlie set impressive record in 2nd-place PNC Championship finish
The Woods narrowly lost to John Daly and his son
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tiger Woods and his son, Charlie, finished two strokes behind the Daly family in the PNC Championship in what was the legendary athlete’s first tournament since the horrific Los Angeles car crash in February.
Woods and his 12-year-old son strung together a tournament-record 11 consecutive birdies and pushed John Daly and his son John Daly II, a freshman golfer at Arkansas, to the finish.

"The fact that I’m able to have this opportunity this year — even a couple weeks ago we didn’t really know whether or not I would be doing this," Woods said. "But here we are. And we had just best time ever."
The Woods duo’s birdie streak ended on the final hole of the tournament, which gave the Daly bunch some wiggle room in case they faltered. Team Daly two-putted for birdie on the 18th hole for a 57 and set the record their own tournament record.

"The competitive juices, they are never going to go away. This is my environment," Woods said. "This is what I’ve done my entire life. I’m just so thankful to be able to have this opportunity to do it again."
