Tiger Woods had to hit a nervous 7-foot putt on his final hole of the day to avoid missing the cut at the Memorial Tournament for the first time in his career. Woods — who is playing the event for the 17th time — struggled early, but managed to salvage a few late birdies to make the weekend.
He’s right at the cutline at 3-over after 36 holes.
After shooting a 1-under 71 on Thursday, Woods was five strokes back of leader Tony Finau. Following Thursday’s performance, Woods said he felt nervous to compete after a five-month absence as a result of events being canceled due to the coronavirus.
