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.
