This post will be updated hole by hole as Tiger Woods plays his second round at the Masters .
Tiger Woods’ current score: +4 (+3 for the day)
No. 7 – Par 4, 450 yards – PAR
For the fourth straight hole, Tiger hit the ball too far up the back and missed the green. His first shot was fine enough, a 290 foot drive that took a few short bounces onto the first cut of grass on the right side. On his second shot, he overshot the green but was hoping that a lip above a bunker would give his ball some rollback. Unfortunately, he got none. He handled the quick green and the downward slope as well as he could, and made par after two putts.
Tiger’s walking a tightrope right now. The projected cut is currently +5, so he’s got almost no room for mistakes. He’s still sitting at +3 for the day.
No. 6 – Par 3, 180 yards – PAR
Patrick Reed</a>, who is at -6." data-reactid="29">It looked like Woods might be in trouble after his first shot. He overshot the green again and the ball rolled about ten feet into the higher grass. But even after that disaster at No. 5, Tiger’s still got confidence. He set himself for a delicate chip shot which was nearly perfect — he just barely missed a birdie. He sunk the four-foot putt to save par, but is now ten shots off the leader Patrick Reed, who is at -6.
No. 5 – Par 4, 455 yards – DOUBLE BOGEY
This is Tiger’s first true disaster of the day. His first drive went far to the right and flew right over the heads of spectators. His second shot was even worse. He hit it directly into the magnolia bushes and it took five minutes for Woods, his caddy, his group mate Mark Leishman, and Leishman’s caddy to even find the ball. And when the ball was found, it was buried under layers of debris.
Tiger had no choice but to take an unplayable, but his drop was still at least six feet into the brush. He managed to hit it out of the woods… and it landed right in the bunker. He ended up with a double bogey on the hole, which in itself is a miracle considering he almost couldn’t find his ball. He’s currently at +3 on the day and +4 overall.
No. 4 – Par 3, 240 yards – PAR
Woods seemed doomed to repeat history from the very start of this hole. He bogeyed Thursday, and that might have been on his mind when he backed off from hitting his first shot and had to reset. When the ball left the tee, it looked like it was heading toward the bunker just like Thursday. Instead it skipped way past both the green and the bunker and landed 25 feet from the hole.
But then we saw the Tiger we all remember. He hit a tremendous third shot to get that ball onto the green, and then nailed the 11-foot putt for a bogey-saving par. He’s still at +1.
No. 3 – Par 4, 350 yards – PAR
Marc Leishman</a> at -5." data-reactid="37">Tiger birdied this hole on Thursday, could he do it again? He started with a 335-foot drive that landed right in the middle of the fairway, and was juuuuust short of rolling up onto the green. Just 31 yards from the hole, he chipped it onto the green and gave himself an excellent chance to pick up a shot. But his 7-foot putt rolled along the side of the hole, leaving him with a very short putt and no repeat birdie. He made par, and is seven shots off the new leader Marc Leishman at -5.
No. 2 – Par 5, 575 yards – PAR
Woods caught a little luck on his opening drive. The ball was headed toward the trees on the left side, but managed to kick back to the edge of the fairway at the last second. His second shot took him 73 yards from the pin, and then he tried to play the slope on the back side of the green. The ball didn’t roll back enough, which left him a long putt for birdie. He just barely missed it, and sunk the shorter putt for par. He remains at +1 for the day.
No. 1 – Par 4, 445 yards – BOGEY
Opting for driver instead of three-wood, Tiger’s first drive of the second round was much better than his opening shot on Thursday. But the good news ended there. Despite only leaving himself 92 yards to the hole, Woods’ approach shot hit the left side of the green and rolled off, leaving him an up and down for par. His left his chip short on the fringe and he was forced to two-putt for bogey. He’s currently five shots off the horde of leaders at -3.
Man that was just a godawful, horrific, brutal, gross, hideous second shot there from Tiger at one.

Pre-round remarks
Woods is scheduled to tee off at 1:27 p.m. ET and there’s plenty of room to make a move. First-round leader Jordan Spieth gave up three strokes over the first three holes on Friday, so the deficit Woods will be trying to erase is not as challenging as it seemed when everyone woke up for the second round.
Woods will need some consistency if he wants to move into serious contention and he’ll need to score. He didn’t birdie any of the par 5s during the first round and his putter was mediocre at best. There are still 54 holes to be played, sure, but Woods is no doubt looking to join some of the familiar names who are bunched at the top of the leaderboard right now.
