Tiger Woods carded an even-par 72 in the second round of the 88th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on Friday, setting a tournament record with his 24th consecutive made cut.
' 15 major championship victories include five wins at the Masters. An 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, Woods was ranked the No. 1 golfer in the world for 683 weeks -- more than 13 years.
There's no question that Friday was a challenge for Woods. He had completed 13 holes of the first round when play was suspended shortly before 8 p.m. ET on Thursday. He was the first player at the practice area on Friday morning, then teed off at 7:45 a.m. ET and played the final five holes of his opening round."I'm tired," Woods said after the second round."I've been out for a while, competing, grinding. It's been a long 23 holes, a long day.
Woods bounced back on the next hole, the par-5, 550-yard 15th. After hitting a 292-yard tee shot, Woods was left with 258 yards to the pin. He ripped a 3-wood and his ball reached the green, about 25 feet from the hole. His eagle putt stopped about 2 feet short of the hole. He tapped in the birdie putt to go back to 1 over.
Woods said he planned to text his good friend Couples, who was 12 over while playing with an aching back and will miss the cut, and needle him about breaking the record.
