Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, Mar 27: Tiger Woods kept his consecutive cut streak alive by shooting a three-under-par 69 in the second round of the players championship.
That left the world number one on level-par 144 in the tournament widely regarded as the fifth ''major''. The halfway guillotine came at 146. Woods has made 120 successive cuts, the most in PGA tour history.
The 28-year-old American, who had opened with a 75, his fourth consecutive round over par, started yesterday on the back nine at the TPC at Sawgrass and was three-under for the first three holes, highlighted by an eagle on the par-five 11th. ''That was nice, wasn't it,'' Woods told reporters. ''I got off to just an ideal start, basically just played solid all the way throughout the day”. Woods made the turn at two-under 34 after his first bogey of the day on the 18th where he missed a five-footer for a par four. He regained the shot he lost with a birdie at the par-five second after narrowly missing an eagle chip and parred his way home.
''I was trying to shoot 66,'' said Woods. ''Now I need to go out there tomorrow and post a good, solid number and put myself where I have a chance Sunday afternoon. ''I take great pride in what I do on the golf course, I go out there and give absolutely everything I've got. Some days it's not very good, other days it's pretty good.
