Golf: Tiger has tantrum at Disney

Moments after the Funai Classic at Disney was suspended because of storms on Friday, Tiger Woods unleashed his fury. He threw his golf ball onto the cart path in front of the 17th green, sending it six metres in the air and into the pond.

Woods made a double bogey and a triple bogey in the same round for the first time since the 2000 US Masters, and was on the verge of missing the cut for the second time this year. Right when he thought his day couldn't get any worse, it did. The second round was called for the day, meaning Woods will have to birdie the final two holes when play resumes to make the cut.

With 74 players at six-under par or better, and 53 players not finishing the round, Woods was at four under but the two birdies he needs looked even more improbable when his tee shot on the 17th narrowly cleared the lake, leaving him in sticky rough under a tree about 150 yards from the hole.

Woods also missed the cut at the Byron Nelson Championship in May, ending his US PGA Tour record of 142 consecutive cuts that spanned seven years.

And he might have company. Vijay Singh twice hit into the water on the sixth hole at the Palm course and shot 71 to finish at four-under 140, virtually assured of missing the cut for the third time this year.

Singh missing the cut means Woods will clinch the US PGA Tour money title for the sixth time in his career, ending Singh's two-year stay atop the money list.

Tom Pernice Jr set the pace with a 10-under 62 on the easier Palm course to reach 15-under 129, one shot ahead of Australian Geoff Ogilvy, who had a 66 at Magnolia.
