(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Hong Gyu-bin = Tiger Woods (USA) was in danger of missing the cut in his return to the field after 7 months.
Woods made 2 birdies and 5 bogeys in the 2nd round of the PGA Tour Genesis Invitational (total prize money of $20 million) held at the Riviera Country Club (par 71) in Palisades, California on the 18th (Korean time). He tied it up and shot a 3-over par 74.
With an interim total of 1 over par, 143 strokes (tied for 60th place), he pulled up to the expected standard of passing the cut (1 over par).
However, due to the sunset, 14 players could not complete the second round and were unable to confirm passing the cut.
This tournament is a tournament that Woods showed up in about 7 months after missing the cut at the Open in July last year and entering rehabilitation and training.
Woods, who had done well with a 2 under par 69 in the first round the previous day, did not seem to be completely free from the aftereffects of a long field vacancy and a car accident on this day.

Woods, who started the game on the 10th hole (par 4), missed a 2.7m birdie putt on the 10th hole, followed by a 1.3m putt on the 11th hole (par 5), failing to reduce the number of strokes.
Then Woods started to shake.
In hole 12 (par 4), the ball fell into the rough and bunker in succession, and the first bogey of the day came out, and in hole 13 (par 4), a tee shot fell into the rough and the putting was shaken, so I wrote down consecutive bogeys.
Afterwards, he pulled out a birdie on hole 14 (par 3) and hole 17 (par 5) and kept the par.
However, in the last 4 holes, he poured 3 bogeys and slipped with an over par.
It is a contrasting scene from the second half of the previous day, when he decorated holes 16 to 18 with three birdies and went up to under par.
Woods succeeded in 1-on in hole 6 (par 3), but the putt went into the bunker, and in hole 8 (par 4), the tee shot fell into the bunker.
In the last 9th hole (par 4), the ball fell into the rough and bunker in a row and ended with a bogey.
On this day, Woods’ green hit rate remained at 50.0%, and the average number of putts when he hit the green soared to 1.889.
