Brooks Koepka Surges at the Northern Trust as Tiger Woods Barely Makes the Cut

Brooks Koepka showed some muscle and unleashed a monstrous finish Friday to share the lead in the Northern Trust in Paramus, N.J.

Tiger Woods missed yet another putt and was relieved to still be playing.

Koepka spent most of the second round trading birdies and bogeys, going nowhere. One swing changed everything on the 631-yard 13th hole at Ridgewood Country Club. From just under 310 yards, he swung his 3-wood as hard as he could and saw the tight draw that had been missing all day. The ball stopped 20 feet from the hole, and Koepka made it for eagle and then closed with three straight birdies for a six-under-par 65.
