More than a two-horse race

TIGER to capture his third major of the season - or Vijay to spoil the Woods party and successfully defend his US PGA Championship.

That’s the slant to most of the pre-tournament focus here in New Jersey prior to the first round of the 87th PGA at Baltrusrol this morning. But those who believe this could turn into a two horse race are not dealing in reality.

True, Woods and Singh have raised the bar just a little this year and the third ranked Ernie Els is out of the equation because of his knee injury. But after a relatively quiet year Retief Goosen demonstrated his current well being last weekend with a fine win in the International in Denver.
