Tiger Woods hits a strange shot at Akron

SOUTH AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- PGA champion Tiger Woods is the leader after 36 holes of the World Golf Championship (Bridgestone Invitational) at South Akron, Ohio.

In Friday's second round, the top-ranked men's golfer in the world shot 6-under 64, despite hitting his ball on the roof of the event's clubhouse on his final hole, which was No. 9 because his round ended by playing the front nine second.

It took 45 minutes to find the ball.

The roof was not deemed out of bounds by tournament officials.

A cook found the ball and that was important because the ruling was that the ball was interfered with by an "outstanding agency."

The grandstands also were a factor as a "temporary moveable obstruction," and Woods dropped almost 100 yards from the hole near the club-house.

He settled for a bogey.

"At the end of the day, we operated off a temporary moveable obstruction rule," said rules official Mike Shea.
