How Tiger Woods’ deadly second round knocked him out of the US Open

How Tiger Woods' deadly second round knocked him out of the US Open

MAMARONECK, NY – See Tiger WoodsFriday’s face in the second round of the US Open at Winged Foot tells you everything you need to know. The look is the same whether he is standing on another crossroads drive in the rough or in a greenside bunker after a poor procedure or slipping past another par put hole in the green.

Woods was bored. His face said so.

When his day is over, he also has his time at this US Open. Woods hit 7 over 77 shots and lost the cut for the fourth time in the event.

From the 10th hole, he lost the green at Par-3. It hasn’t really improved.

Here’s how awkward a bizarre day is:

No. 10: Par 3, 214 yards

Not the shot you dream of starting the US Open round: 220-yard par 3, fast winds, cold temperatures. Tiger goes on for a long time, but rolls on the putt hitting a great flap shot to save an important park from the gate.

Tiger with a missed opportunity on the 12th. There was luck at the birdie and the put slipped. It’s still the same, but if you have a chance to pick up the shot, you shouldn’t waste it here at Winged Foot today.

The 13th green has some sharp slopes. Tiger Woods is on the wrong side of the hill. Has up and down put, but navigated it safely for the fourth row par. He looks a lot more comfortable at the start of this round than he did on Thursday.

Tiger got into scramble mode on the 14th after losing his drive wide left. Can not steal equally from this and drops the first shot of his day. He was not alone in 14 years; Justin Thomas also gave up one for the second row hole.

The good news / bad news for Tiger at 15: A birdie putt, but this betrayal winged foot has a huge break on the greens. He joins the two-put par for 1 round for his round and a shot within the projected cut line.

Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods laugh when they go out at 15 years old. The two are alike. The two happily left. It grind at Winged Foot in the second round.

No. 16: Par, 498 yards

Official Cut Watch Time: Tiger Woods takes a break after missing Fairway at the age of 16, taking a free drop from Rough due to the sprinkler. But drops his second shot into the bunker, the third does not reach the green. On top of that, he loses a little for the bogie. The double drops him to 6 overs, one outside the cut line. There is still a lot of hard golf.

For the second day in a row, Tiger Woods doubles over the 18th hole. An almost carbon copy of the mess he made on Thursday, another part complete with a flop shot. So Woods scored 40 for his first nine runs in the second round on Friday. He stood in 8 overs. Not good to play on the weekend.

No. 2: Par 4, 484 yards

Tiger Woods missed the fairway by 2 or 3 feet at the second hole. At winged foot, it is enough to cause pain. He dropped his approach in the front bunker and set off with another bogie. There seems to be seven holes from the end of his time at this US Open.

Tiger finds green at the third hole of the long Par-3, but he is about a mile away. He ran his long birdie putty 5 feet across the hole, then lost the man who came back. Another bogie. Now it’s a matter of counting the holes.

Equivalent to Tiger Woods in fourth place. He has no birdie yet. He doesn’t have one, he only has one really good look. That’s why he’s twice as equal.

It took 16 holes and a lot of bad shots, but Tiger Woods finally made a birdie. He filled his approach at bur-3 seventh hole – his 16th day – for his first birdie. It doesn’t help to cut, but it gives him a little breathing room to avoid shooting 80-something.
