Daly has made plenty of news off the course.
Along with two trips to alcohol rehab, he felt his life was turning the corner when his son was born in July. A few days later, his wife and her parents were indicted on drug and illegal gambling charges.
Later in the year in Pennsylvania, Daly had to withdraw from the 84 Lumber Classic when he started hyperventilating in the 15th fairway. He was treated for dehydration.
Cink ditched the traditional sports psychologist a few years ago and worked on his overall state of mind, particularly the pressure he was putting on himself to do better. Cink considers himself an underachiever, and now tries to keep the stress and pressure to a minimum.
But there is plenty to get his attention on the weekend.
Nearly three dozen players were within six shots of the lead, which is not much of a gap considering how much the South course can penalize errant shots of the tee.
"It's definitely reachable to win the tournament from there," Woods said of his position, only 20 guys ahead of him. "I don't have too many guys to pass. It's not too bad going over to the hardest golf course."
