Jacobsen Tied Without Any Fluff Shots

A lot of players have lost a lot of tournaments to Tiger Woods since he turned pro. Peter Jacobsen lost his caddie.

“It’s been tough getting used to a new guy,” Jacobsen said Friday after shooting 65 to move to nine-under-par 133, tied with Bill Glasson for the second-round lead of the CVS Charity Classic at Sutton, Mass.

Jacobsen was laid up at home in Portland, Ore., with a bad back last year when Woods was playing in the U.S. Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge. Woods asked if he could borrow Mike “Fluff” Cowan when he turned pro.

“Mike came to me and said he had the opportunity to work for Tiger full time. I said, ‘Hey, you’ve got to do that. He’s a phenom,’ ” Jacobsen said. “He said ‘I really appreciate it.’ I said, ‘I wish I had an opportunity to work for him.’ ”

Glasson shot a second-round 67 on the par-71, 7,110-yard Pleasant Valley Country Club course.
