AUGUSTA, GA (SNN-TV) – Like a prized fighter, Tiger Woods took some licks early on during his second round at the 86th Masters.
The 15-time major champion and five-time winner of the green jacket made bogey on four of his first five holes on Friday, his worst start ever at Augusta National Golf Club.
Woods then stopped the bleeding with a pair of pars before his first birdie of the day on No. 8 to ultimately make the turn at 3 over on the day and 2 over for the tournament.
He put some more color on his scorecard with a stretch of birdie-bogey-bogey-birdie-birdie en route to a 2-over 74 to walk off the course at 1 over for the tournament.
Scottie Scheffler played two groups behind Tiger Woods on Friday but finished a mile ahead.
The hottest player in golf quietly rocketed to the top of the board on a gusty day at the Masters after a 5-under 67 put Scheffler five strokes clear of the field at 8 under 136.
