- Woods has back stiffness and says he is not moving well
- ‘I don’t have the same stamina. I’m just trying to hold on’
Far more notable than an untypical Tiger Woods battle to make the cut at the Memorial Tournament was the suddenly pessimistic outlook provided by the 15-times major winner regarding his fitness. Woods had looked physically out of sorts during a second round of 76 at an event where he had won fives times and never failed to survive for the weekend in 17 previous visits. This time, he spent day two hovering around the cut line at three over par.
“Ageing is not fun,” said Woods. “Early on in my career I thought it was fantastic because I was getting better and better and better and now I’m just trying to hold on.”
