Tiger Woods fought to a 1-over total through 36 holes to take a record all for himself.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — He would never say he is satisfied with simply making the 36-hole cut in a golf tournament. But Tiger Woods did concede just briefly Friday afternoon that doing so at the Masters will allow him a brief opportunity of glee.
His 36-hole total of 145, 1 over par, will easily make the 36-hole cut and give him a Masters record of 24, which dates to his first year as a pro in 1997. He was tied for the record with Gary Player and Couples.due to issues with his lower right leg and back, it is an impressive accomplishment. Woods entered just two tournaments since making the cut and withdrawing from last year’s Masters and then having ankle surgery.
Woods didn’t look so good to go when play began at 7:50 a.m. Friday with the resumption of the first round. Although Woods pumped a drive into the 14th fairway, he missed the green short with a wedge and failed to get up and down. “I'm right there,” Woods said. “I'm only eight back as of right now. I don't think anyone is going to run off and hide right now, but it's really bunched. The way the ball is moving on the greens, chip shots are being blown, it's all you want in a golf course today.”
He missed the Masters in 2014 due to back surgery and again in 2016 and 2017. He missed the 2021 event following a car crash that has seen him making just eight worldwide starts since that time.
