Tiger Woods’ current score: +11 (+3 for day)

This post will be updated hole by hole as Tiger Woods plays his second round of the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills in New York. He is scheduled to tee off from the back nine at 8:02 AM ET.

Hole 4: Par 4, 476 yards — Par

Now that he’s a bit more relaxed, knowing his fate for this tournament, Tiger is making it look routine. Five more holes.

Hole 3: Par 4, 499 yards — Par

Another perfect drive. This time he parlayed that into a routine par, which would be great if he weren’t running out of holes. With just six holes to play and the projected cut at +6, it’s just a matter of playing out the string now for Tiger.

Hole 2: Par 3, 234 yards — Bogey

Tiger is now 11-over for the tournament. He’s 7-over on Holes 1 and 2. Without these two holes, he’s in the top 25 and in contention. With them, he’s T116 and will be firing up Privacy in a few hours.

Hole 1: Par 4, 411 yards — Double Bogey

Tiger’s problems have not come from the tee; it’s his approaches to the green. On 1, perfect tee shot, approach sprays right and from there it’s a scramble. Pitch from the deep rough goes over, pitch back leaves a lengthy bogey putt and, well, double. That makes him 5-over on No. 1 alone. Missing the cut now not only a real possibility, but a likelihood.

Hole 18: Par 4, 490 yards — Bogey

So much for uneventful holes. This one started off when his tee shot bounced off a spotter and into the first cut. (It’s arguable that this actually could have helped Tiger as the ball could’ve gone deeper into the hay.) Then his second shot landed in a bunker. His escape left him 40 feet for par and that wasn’t happening, so he takes a bogey on his way out. Two birdies and two bogeys on his first nine leaves him where he started at 8-over. He still needs to pick up strokes on the next nine if he wants to play the weekend.

Hole 17: Par 3, 169 yards — Par

Nothing too exciting going here, but that’s OK. Tee to green, two-putt for par. Onward.

Hole 16: Par 5, 610 yards — Birdie

It’s started to rain in New York, just as Tiger tees off from the lengthy par 5. His driver didn’t land in a spot where it was reasonable to go for the green in two, but his second-shot layup put him in an excellent spot for an up-and-down birdie and he did just that. Can this give him some more momentum as he heads toward the turn?

Hole 15: Par 4, 420 yards — Par

A solid iron off the tee looked like a good rebound for Tiger, but his second shot found a greenside bunker leaving him a sand save for par. He did pull it off though, refusing to overthink a straight-ahead four-foot putt for par.

Hole 14: Par 4, 511 yards — Bogey

Tiger took a three-wood off the tee here and ended up going far enough right that it took a small search to find the ball. It was located, but the lie was such that his third shot still required 150 yards to the hole. There wasn’t anything he could do to get up and down, so he cards his first bogey of the day.

Hole 13: Par 4, 360 yards — Par

Woods could have conceivably driven this green, but he played it safe with an iron off the tee. His two-putt for par may have seemed routine, but anyone who saw his disastrous double bogey here on Thursday knows differently.

Hole 12: Par 4, 476 yards — Par

This one could have gotten away from Tiger after his tee shot went way left into the hay, but it didn’t. He was able to scramble and get an up-and-down for an impressive par. Now it’s onto the two holes where he took back-to-back double bogeys on Thursday.

Hole 11: Par 3, 153 yards — Par

Woods left himself 19 feet after his tee shot but was unable to navigate the break for his second birdie to start the day. Meanwhie, playing partner Dustin Johnson birdied this hole for the second straight day to move into a tie atop the leaderboard at -2.

Hole 10: Par 4, 404 yards — Birdie

TGIF? Tiger only had one birdie on Thursday, but he opens his second round with a birdie. He hit his approach shot to three feet, which helps when you’ve been having problems with your putter.

Pre-round coverage

Tiger Woods hasn’t played on the weekend at the U.S. Open since 2010 (!) and he has some serious work to do if he wants that streak to end. Three disastrous holes during Thursday’s first-round stuck him with a 78 and he’s currently at +8, three shots on the wrong side of the cut line. For all the talk of Tiger being ready to compete again at a major, it simply did not look that way during the first round. And as Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports wrote from Shinnecock Hills, the man with three national championships to his name is running out of tomorrows if he wants to add another one.
