Neither Pádraig Harrington nor Darren Clarke were similarly inspired and rounds of 74 and 73 respectively left the Irish duo with considerable ground to make up over the final two days. Harrington is nine shots behind Singh with Clarke two further back. Singh, one of four players in the 18-man field who didn’t win on his home tour this year, had only one complaint: “I didn’t like the weather,” he said. It was foggy and cold, then rainy and cold and finally windy and cold. Temperatures stayed below 10 degrees most of the afternoon, not exactly what anyone expected when they accepted Tiger’s invitation to Southern California to play for a first prize of $1m. “I don’t believe anyone mentioned this weather in the brochure,” David Duval cracked as he walked down the fourth fairway in a light, steady rain. Woods blew into his hands before putting. And it worked fine, especially with four birdies on the back nine for a 67. “I’m still numb,” said Woods, who changed clothes three times from rain jacket to waterproof vest to turtleneck to sweater. “It was a tough day mentally and physically.” Fred Couples, the co-leader with Mark O’Meara after the first round, was plodding along just fine until taking a double bogey on the par-three 15th. He still managed a 71 to finish three strokes behind along with Bernhard Langer. Jesper Parnevik had the best round of the day, a seven-under 65 that put him at 138. Thomas Bjorn had an 80. Scott Verplank started the day two strokes out of the lead and wound up ten strokes behind after a 76. That also was the margin in his twosome with Singh. The former Masters and PGA champion turned it on at the turn. Whether he was hitting bump-and-run shots or spinning back wedges, he never put much distance between his ball and the hole during his five-birdie run. Singh’s only two victories this year came in Malaysia and Singapore, but his PGA Tour season will be remembered for two statistics $3.3m, 0 wins.
