Tiger Woods Lurking in Contention After Solid Round 2 at 2018 British Open

Tiger Woods shook off a rough start to the second round of The Open Championship on Friday to shoot an even-par 71 at Carnoustie Golf Links in Scotland.

The 42-year-old American started the day in a tie for 32nd place after shooting a 71 in the first round as well. He appeared to be headed for trouble early on in Day 2, but he found a way to quickly turned things around to save his tournament.

Woods used the front nine to his advantage on Thursday, shooting a two-under 34. The second round was a different story, however.
