Woods made the cut for the second straight event since he suffered a devastating leg injury in a 2021 car crash in Los Angeles. He made the cut at the Masters but fell off the lead in the third round.

He needed a gutsy performance in the second round just to get above the cut line.

Woods had a birdie and a bogey through the front nine and would double bogey the 11th, putting any chance of making the weekend in doubt. However, he would dig deep and birdie the 13th and the 16th and save par every other hole to finish 1-under in round 2.

McIlroy fell off the lead and by the end of the second round he was sitting tied for fifth with a 71 in the second round. He finished 1-over on the day. He had only one birdie and two bogeys. But he will be fighting to climb back on top.

Jordan Spieth shot a 69 in the second round. He came on strong with three birdies on the back nine and two bogeys. He finished 1-over par for the first two rounds and will also be continuing his mission for a career Grand Slam at Southern Hills.
