Mike Weir feels its his turn

Mike Weir figures it's about time he won again on the PGA Tour and erased a bad memory.

He's in good position heading into Sunday's final round of the PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club.

Weir is at 12-under and two strokes behind Tiger Woods and Luke Donald after firing a 65 on Saturday, his lowest round in a major. That put him in contention for his second major title -- and brought back some unpleasant thoughts.

When the PGA Championship was last at Medinah in 1999, the then-second-year pro went into the final round tied for the lead with Woods.

He remembers feeling "spacey" after nine holes. He wound up shooting 80 and finished tied for 10th, while Woods hoisted the Wanamaker Trophy.

"No question, it was painful," said Weir, who was a year removed from qualifying school back then. "It wasn't a fun day. ... I couldn't believe what was going on. I was very surprised, because actually I remember striking the ball pretty good, but I had no feel on the greens and I remember getting pretty frustrated with a lot of commotion going on."

Seven years later, he's come a long way. He's a major champion, winning the 2003 Masters. And after a birdie on the par-4 15th, he needed only one more in his last three holes for a 63 that would have matched the single-round scoring record at a major.

But Weir bogeyed the 18th hole and settled for a 65.

"In majors, normally, you take your birdies when you get them, which is usually not that often, and you're just trying to make pars and kind of just be real consistent and stay away from big numbers," Weir said.

Weir hasn't won since the 2004 Nissan Open, but he's optimistic he can get back into the top 10.

"I'd say I'm about due," said Weir, who had a lingering neck injury last year. "It's been a little frustrating the last year, especially battling some injuries. But this year, I've felt great, so that's even a little bit more frustrating that I haven't been able to get in the winners circle."
