Tiger Woods leans on his club as he reaches for his ball after a birdie on the seventh hole Friday in the second round of the US PGA Memorial tournament at Dublin, Ohio AFP/SAM GREENWOODWASHINGTON: Reigning Masters champion Tiger Woods struggled with back issues on his way to a four-over par 76 on Friday and possibly a first-ever missed cut at the PGA Memorial tournament.

"Not very good," Woods said."I 3-putted two holes early. Whatever momentum I was going to create, I stifled that early and struggled the rest of the day." His back, which like his knees has been surgically repaired multiple times, affected his swing, saying,"It was a bit of a struggle."Woods had not played since February at Riviera and the back issues come with the year's first major in a COVID-19 shuffled schedule coming on August 6-9 at the PGA Championship at Harding Park in San Francisco.

"I would like to have the opportunity to play tomorrow," Woods said."Hopefully the cut will fall one more and I'll have the opportunity."
