NUMBERS GAME

3 shots from the same bunker on No. 11 for Sergio Garcia, leading to a double bogey on the par-3 hole and robbing him of momentum. Garcia was 1 under for tournament and near the top of the leaderboard. He went on to make four more bogeys coming in and barely made the 36-hole cut.

OUT OF GAS

The PGA Championship marks the last opportunity to earn points, or impress captain Jack Nicklaus, in an effort to make the U.S. Presidents Cup team.

One person who probably hasn't done enough is Chris DiMarco, who holed the winning putt for Nicklaus two years ago.

Last week, DiMarco got his first top 10 this year, but he was out of gas this week.

"This was my 10th tournament in 11 weeks," DiMarco said after rounds of 79-73.

DiMarco is 25th in the standings and still holding out hope.

"I know he was looking for me to do well," he said of Nicklaus, who will make his two selections Monday. "You shouldn't rely on one week. My game is getting back to what it should be."

HE SAID IT

"You can't think or believe that it's over. I want to believe it's not. I've got two rounds left. We all know he's No. 1 and he's on form. That's kind of dangerous. But I'm playing well myself."

Ernie Els, who trails Tiger Woods by six shots, on the assumption of many that Woods, who is 7-0 when leading or tied for the lead after 36 holes of a major, is all but guaranteed a victory.
