Tiger still in it, Freddy's out


Tiger Woods finished a round that was not terribly inspiring, but not a deal-breaker either. He was rather pleased with the eventful ending, in fact, and said, "I'm in good shape."

He isn't in the greatest shape. He's 1 under par, having shot a 71, and is seven shots behind leader Trevor Immelman. The record for most strokes overcome after two rounds by a winner is the eight stroke disadvantage that Jackie Burke withstood in 1956. But Woods, in a six-way tie for 13th place, said, "On this golf course, you can make that up."

Fred Couples fell one shot short of setting a record of making the cut for a 24th consecutive year. He missed a birdie putt on No. 18 and finished at 4 over par, missing the cut by one. "I'm kind of disappointed, but I'm really disappointed with the way I played," Couples said.
