Nerves? Pressure? Yes, it's daunting pairing up with Tiger Woods

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Now in his 10th year as a pro, Patton Kizzire has seen a few things. He's dealt with the pressure of winning in golf's minor leagues, qualifying for the PGA Tour and winning his first two tournaments.

Kizzire, 31, is the only player who has won twice this season, but of course nothing could quite prepare him for what he faced the past two days at PGA National.

For the first time in his career, he was grouped with Tiger Woods.

"Extremely nervous," said Kizzire of his opening tee shot Thursday morning at the Honda Classic.
