AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods is nothing if not persistent. So even when not playing his best golf, he will stubbornly strive to produce the best mediocre version of himself.
It is a description that best characterizes Woods’s performance at the Masters Tournament on Saturday, when the weather-delayed second round was completed despite a cold, driving rain.
In the end, Woods barely made the midway cut of the event field but he qualified to play the final two rounds for a 23rd consecutive time. Woods’s streak of cuts made ties a Masters record shared by Gary Player and Fred Couples.
