"That's why the guy is at such a high level," said U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, who played with [Tiger Woods] and shot 66 to join the group at 5-under 135. "When things are going bad, he can rely on his short game. He just doesn't waste any shots. If he's losing shots, it's because of a bad break or a bad lie."

"That's how you keep yourself in a golf tournament," Woods said. "I made a couple of big putts -- 17, 18, good up-and-down on 2 -- and it kept me going. I played well early, and it's all about keeping your momentum."

"I hate the way I hit the ball today," Kim said. "My swing got loose and I couldn't find it out there. If I can stay focused and stay positive, I'll be in good shape."
