Tiger Woods is playing the sort of golf we haven’t seen from him in some time. On Friday in Augusta, Woods has birdied six of his last eight holes to jump 20 spots up the Masters leaderboard, and as of this writing, stands only four strokes removed from the lead.
Tiger Woods Catches Fire, Rockets Up Masters Leaderboard
Woods struggled early in Round 2, going bogey-birdie-bogey in his first three holes. But Woods, a noted golf enthusiast, has since scored birdied on the sixth, eighth, ninth, 10th, 13th, 14th, and 15th holes. This puts him at 5-under for the day -- the second-best Round 2 of all players in the field -- and he isn’t even finished yet. Woods is currently at his 16th hole.
Presently, Woods is at 6-under for the tournament. He’s four strokes behind tournament leader Rory McIlroy, who is now in the clubhouse. Woods is on the hunt for his first PGA Tour win since 2009. We’ll see whether he can finish strong on Friday evening and carry his momentum into Round 3.
