Tiger Woods’ quest for U.S. Open success concluded on Friday with a disappointing finish. The 15-time major champion missed the cut line after posting a 3-over-par 73 in Round 2, leaving him with a total score of +7 over the tournament’s first two rounds.
Woods began his second round with promise, securing pars on the first three holes. Optimism rose when he recorded a well-executed birdie on the 4th hole, hinting at a potential turnaround.
However, momentum quickly shifted away from the 48-year-old. As the day progressed, he struggled to maintain consistency, accumulating bogeys that hampered his scorecard. Whether due to a lack of recent competitive play or the inevitable toll of time on his physical abilities, Woods faced challenges in his game that proved difficult to overcome.
