- Former world No 1 makes cut despite closing with two bogeys
- Fred Couples, 63, will become oldest to play four Masters rounds
Trees may have fallen but an idol did not. Spectators still reeling from the astonishing Friday afternoon episode where a trio of Georgia pines crashed to the turf, were at least cheered by the survival of Tiger Woods for this major’s closing 36 holes.
Woods maintained a superb record of never missing a Masters cut as a professional, a streak that now extends to 23. He has tied Gary Player and Fred Couples at that figure, a tournament record. Incredibly, Couples also made it into the delayed round three at cold, rain soaked Augusta. Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas were among those to bow out as Woods and Couples rolled back the years. The Masters really is all about tradition.
