PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Patton Kizzire is the only multiple winner on the PGA Tour this season, but that experience didn’t help calm his nerves before his first tee shot here at the Honda Classic.

Tiger Woods tends to have that effect.

“I was extremely nervous,” Kizzire said. “I didn’t feel like I was actually holding the club.”

The FedExCup leader has never experienced anything like the first two rounds at PGA National. It’s what Woods deals with on a weekly basis, of course, but it was an eye-opener for someone like Kizzire, 31, now in his third season on Tour.
