Woods eyes sixth Green Jacket at Augusta National

Tiger Woods insisted he can still tie Jack Nicklaus’ record of six Masters wins after making a record 24th consecutive cut at Augusta National.

The 15-time major champion is seven shots off the lead at the halfway stage after a level-par 72 left him one over.

The 48-year-old’s fellow Americans Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau lead on six under par.

Woods came from six shots back at the halfway stage to win his fourth Green Jacket in 2005 but that was before he suffered a catalogue of injures that mean his body “aches every day” – although the then 43-year-old shocked many by winning a fifth title in 2019.
