Tiger Woods Birdies Final Hole to Narrowly Make Cut

SAN DIEGO — There was more drama near the cut line of the Farmers Insurance Open than at the top of the leader board on Friday, when Tiger Woods birdied his 18th hole to survive into the weekend.

He made the 36-hole cut with no room to spare — at one under par.

Needing a birdie on the 556-yard, par-5 ninth hole at the Torrey Pines North Course, Woods reached the green in two and two-putted from 80 feet, finishing with a tap-in. That closed out a second-round 71 and enabled him to make his first PGA Tour cut since August 2015.
