Masters 2024: Scottie Scheffler leads as Tiger Woods posts worst round at Augusta National



Having made the cut for a record 24th consecutive year, Woods was one over at the halfway stage and, as we have seen so many times over the years, talked bullishly about his chances at the weekend.

The five-time Masters champion, aiming to match Jack Nicklaus' long-standing record of victories, said after round two that he was "right there".

However, that proved overly optimistic as he tumbled down the leaderboard.

The 48-year-old American struggled to find fairways - hitting only five of 14 - and that led to only the third time he had scored 80 or over at a major.

Successive double bogeys on seven and eight did the most damage, with Woods adding six more bogeys on the back half.

Woods had barely played coming into the Masters as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a car crash in February 2021.

The 15-time major champion has limited his schedule following the life-threatening crash which led to a number of operations, including on his legs and ankle.
