Tiger Woods breaks the cut record at Augusta National, advancing to the weekend for the 24th consecutive time. He aims for a record-tying sixth green jacket.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods claimed more history at August National on Friday, making the cut for a record 24th consecutive time.Woods broke the cut record he shared with three-time champion Gary Player, who advanced to the weekend 23 straight times beginning in 1959, and 1992 winner Fred Couples, whose own streak lasted until 2007.
Woods was back at the course before sunrise to finish up the final five holes of his opening round, which was cut short by darkness after storms Thursday morning delayed the start of the tournament by 2 1/2 hours. “I was forced to get up-and-down a few times today, and I was able to do that,” Woods said. “A lot of those chip shots I was able to get up-and-down because I left it in the perfect spot, and that’s understanding how to play this golf course. ... Most of the up-and-downs I was in a perfect spot.”
