Not so much as a 37-foot putt to save standard on the final hole could fix Tiger Woods’ sad round – or get him to stop and converse with the media – on Friday.

Woods shot a 5-more than 75 in the second round of the BMW Championship on Friday and is 8 over generally entering the end of the week. The top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings after this end of the week qualify for the Tour Championship. That implies Woods has some generous work to do throughout the following two days here; he’s as of now tied for 55th in the competition and necessities to complete around fourth overall to break the best 30 in the FedEx standings.
The 8-over total is tied for Woods’ fourth-most exceedingly terrible score to standard through 36 holes in a non-major PGA Tour event as an expert, as per ESPN Stats and Information research. His most exceedingly terrible score was 13 over in the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Woods hasn’t indicated a lot of anything since coming back to the tour after its five-month break due to the coronavirus pandemic. He completed tied for 37th and 40th at the Memorial and PGA Championship, respectively.
Woods had a bogey and a double bogey on the front nine Friday before getting his first birdie on the standard 4 eleventh. In any case, at that point he lined that up with an intruder on the next hole. He experienced a harsh stretch on the back nine, with bogeys on four of five holes.

The standard 4 14th hole embodied Woods’ second round. His methodology came up short of the green, leaving him a putt of almost 73 feet. It flew by the hole and off the rear of the green. He required two additional putts from that point and ended up with a bogey.
It seemed a bogey on the standard 4 eighteenth would be fitting end for Woods, who drove it into a fairway bunker and afterward hit his second shot only 52 yards, forgetting about him 161 yards. His methodology went right of the pin, leaving him a putt of very nearly 37 feet for standard. However, Woods, who is just 57th in the field in strokes picked up in putting, made the long putt to finish strong.
It was about the main time Woods smiled during his round – and about the only time Friday, he would want to, as well.
