NORTON, Mass. — Tiger Woods didn’t miss many shots and didn’t make any bogeys on his way to a 6-under 65 that kept his playoff hopes alive in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Woods was three shots below the cut line going into the second round Saturday. He birdied four of his opening seven holes to eliminate any concerns about missing the cut. When he finished with one last birdie, Woods was in the middle of the pack and starting to think he had a chance to win the tournament.
The wind that arrived in the middle of his round – at times with big gusts – could make scoring harder in the afternoon. Woods is No. 65 in the FedEx Cup playoff standings. He needs to be in the top 70 to advance to the third round next week in Chicago.
