Tiger Woods not giving up on Masters after making record cut
Tiger Woods refused to give up on his dream of a 16th major title after making a record 24th consecutive cut in the Masters on another windswept day at Augusta National. Woods completed 23 holes in more than seven hours on the course on Friday, a remarkable effort from the injury-ravaged 48-year-old which prompted a standing ovation from the spectators around the 18th green. The five-time Masters champion had to shield his face from sand whipped from the bunkers on the last before tapping in to complete a second round of 72 for a halfway total of one over par. That left Woods seven shots off the clubhouse lead shared by playing partner Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau, who could only add a 73 to his opening 65. "It means I have a chance to win the golf tournament," Woods said. "I'm right there. 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." Asked about his 24th consecutive cut, Woods - who had shared the record of 23 with Freddie Couples and Gary Player - said: "I've always loved playing here. "I've been able to play here since I was 19 years old. It's one of the honours I don't take lightly, being able to compete. "The years I have missed, I wish I was able to play because there's such an aura and mystique about playing this golf course that, unless you have played and competed here, you probably don't really appreciate."

Despite making Masters history on Friday, Tiger Woods is still not satisfied - ESPN
AUGUSTA, GA. — The morning light framed the picture perfectly. Tiger Woods, standing on 14 tee with the iconic 13 green at Augusta National Golf Club in the background. It was a scene that could have only occurred under these circumstances — an unfinished round due to a weather delay on Thursday, an early morning start on Friday — but it was one that nonetheless exuded the inexplicable thing about Augusta that Woods would later describe as «aura» and «mystique.»
