Akron, Ohio ? Tiger Woods hit a 9-iron over the clubhouse roof and escaped with a bogey because the ball was not marked out-of-bounds on the final hole of an otherwise stellar second round at the Bridgestone Invitational on Friday.

Woods birdied his first four holes and shot a 6-under 64 to take a one-shot lead over Davis Love III, but what made the second round memorable was a bogey that left Woods feeling lucky after a strange sequence of events.

It started from the right rough on No. 9, when Woods hit a 9-iron from 167 yards that jumped out of the grass, soared over the flag and over the grandstands. It hit the concrete path and bounced over a balcony and onto the roof.

From the back of the clubhouse, Summit County deputy sheriff Bill Muncy was sitting in his chair when he noticed a golf ball bouncing around the service area below him and next to someone from the Firestone kitchen staff.

The worker, Josh Stuber, put the ball in the cup holder of a cart and drove off.

Woods stood in the fairway for nearly 10 minutes before rules officials arrived and tried to figure out the next step. The rules official talked to the deputy sheriff and then went about figuring out where Woods should drop. There was no penalty because the grandstands – known as a temporary immovable obstruction in the Rules of Golf – were in his way. Woods hit a lob wedge to 30 feet and two-putted for bogey, putting him at 9-under 131 going into the weekend.
