“#Tiger Woods hangs on to make Memorial cut: \u2018Aging isn\u2019t fun\u2019<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n DUBLIN, Ohio \u2014 Tiger Woods left himself hanging on the precipice of making the wrong kind of history on Friday.<\/p>\n

Woods, 44, had never missed a cut in the 17 times he\u2019s played Jack Nicklaus\u2019 Memorial Tournament, an event he\u2019s won five times and finished out of the top 25 only three times.<\/p>\n

After posting a 4-over-par 76 in Friday\u2019s second round, though, Woods found himself having to wait out the afternoon to see if he was going to make his 18th consecutive cut at Muirfield Village Golf Club.<\/p>\n

When Woods competed his round, he stood at 3-over par for the tournament and was one shot out of the cut, which would proceed to fluctuate all afternoon from 2-over to 3-over before finally settling at 3-over. That meant Woods lived to play another two rounds this weekend \u2014 albeit 12 shots out of the lead shared by Tony Finau and Ryan Palmer at 9-under.<\/p>\n

Woods, who began his round on the 10th hole, stood on the tee at the par-5 seventh hole (his 16th hole of the day) at 5-over par and looking like he was a goner for the weekend \u2014 a rare Friday-afternoon trunk slam for him.<\/p>\n

But he birdied Nos. 7 and 8, where he made a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-3, to scratch back to 3-over and within touching range of making the cut.<\/p>\n

That Woods, who shot a 1-under 71 in Thursday\u2019s opening round thanks to a birdie on 18 (his final hole), was even in jeopardy of missing the cut was a surprise considering he birdied No. 12 to get to 2-under par.<\/p>\n

At that moment, it looked like he was poised to make a run up the leaderboard and vault himself into contention. Instead, he went the other way, carding bogeys on Nos. 13, 15 and 17 and then a double on No. 10 and bogeys on Nos. 2 and 6 before he rallied with those birdies on 7 and 8.<\/p>\n

Woods, who missed the fairway on No. 9, his final hole, and was forced to make a 7-foot par-save putt just to stay at 3-over and give himself a chance to play the weekend.<\/p>\n

It was clear, particularly on his back nine, that Woods\u2019 balky back was bothering him as he kept missing tee shots to the right while releasing his right hand from the club on the follow-through.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t quite moving as well as I\u2019d like and couldn\u2019t quite turn back and couldn\u2019t quite clear,\u2019\u2019 Woods said. \u201cIt was a bit of a struggle. It started this morning during the warm-up. It wasn\u2019t quite as good as I\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

\u201cAging is not fun. Early on in my career, I thought it was fantastic because I was getting better and better and better, and now I\u2019m just trying to hold on.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Woods\u2019 physical struggles on Friday came one day after he was asked if, after not having played a tournament in five months, he was concerned about the quick turnaround playing the second round.<\/p>\n

His answer: \u201cNo, I\u2019ve felt good about my training over the last few months. I\u2019ve gotten ready for this.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Woods, however, indicated on Friday that he never really knows what he\u2019s going to get from his body from day-to-day when he wakes up in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last four or five years have been difficult as I\u2019ve gone through [back] procedures and have tried to come back,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to happ<\/a>en more times than not. I don\u2019t have the same type of stamina as I used to have when I was training hard and running and all that stuff. Granted, I\u2019m a lot older now, so things change, they evolve. Energy, you try to suck it up as best you can and get through it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy, who along with Brooks Koepka was grouped with Woods the past two days, said after the round that he could see Woods laboring as the day went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe looked pretty good starting off, and then you could sort of tell when we made the turn, he hit a couple fairway wood shots off the tee that he sort of quit on,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy said. \u201cIt looked a little bit that way \u2014 that he wasn\u2019t quite moving as well. But he battled really well. He made those two birdies coming in and a good save on 9. Hopefully that\u2019s enough for him to be around for the weekend.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He will be. How his back will feel when he wakes on Saturday morning is anyone\u2019s guess.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
