Patrick Reed delivered an overwhelming performance under difficult conditions to seize a two-stroke lead after Friday’s second round of the Masters while Tiger Woods struggled but made the cut. Reed, who shared second in last year’s PGA Championship, opened and closed the front nine with runs of three consecutive birdies then ran off another birdie treble on the back nine in shooting 6-under par 66 to stand on 9-under 135 after 36 holes at Augusta National.
Tiger Woods returned to the acid test of Augusta National on Thursday with a one-over par 73 in the first round of the Masters, declaring the experience “awesome”. The 42-year-old, who calls himself a walking miracle less than 12 months after spinal fusion surgery, produced a pair of top-five finishes on the PGA Tour to fuel expectations that he could seize a fifth green jacket — and a 15th major title — this week.
Jack Nicklaus is shocked at how well Tiger Woods recovered from spinal fusion surgery. Gary Player had already written him off. Now both golf legends like Woods’s chances to win the 82nd Masters. After hitting Thursday’s ceremonial tee shots to begin the year’s first major tournament at Augusta National, Player and Nicklaus both said a Woods victory this week would rank as one of the greatest comeback stories in sports history. “I’ve been amazed at how well he has come back,” Nicklaus said.
