Masters Results, Leaderboard, Tee times, TV Schedule: What Time Does Tiger Woods Tee off Saturday at Augusta?
Tiger Woods’ quest for a first major in 11 years continued apace at the Masters, as he moved within one shot of the leaders on Friday.
The 14-time major winner shot a 4-under-par 68 on his second round at Augusta National Golf Club, Georgia.
Woods is 6-under par for the tournament, one adrift of leaders Francesco Molinari, Jason Day, Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen.
On a day when he rolled back the years, the 43-year-old survived a bizarre incident that could have had very serious consequences as he was almost taken out by a Georgia Bureau of Investigations special agent.
Trying to contain the crowds in the rough by the 14th hole, the overzealous security guard slipped on the wet surface and flew straight into Woods’ ankle.
Having limped for a couple of seconds, Tiger then sank a 25ft birdie putt only a few minutes later to confirm no damage had been done.
"It's all good," he told ESPN later. "Accidents happen. I've had galleries run over me. It's just, you know, when you play in front of a lot of people, things happen.”
On Saturday, Tiger will return to the course at 2:05 p.m. ET, alongside Ian Poulter, who is tied for 10th alongside Jon Rahm at 5-under for the tournament.
The duo will be followed by Justin Hardin and Xander Schauffele, who are also 6-under for the tournament, at 2:15 p.m. ET.
The remaining three pairs will feature Dustin Johnson and the current leaders, with Molinari and Day the last two golfers to get out on the course today.
Pre-tournament favorite Rory McIlroy will start his third round at 11:05 a.m. The Northern Irishman shot a 1-under-par 71 on Friday and is seven shots off the lead, while Jordan Spieth is 1-under for the tournament after a 4-under-par 68 on Friday.
The Texan tees off at 12:05 p.m., while defending champion Patrick Reed begins his third round 10 minutes earlier. Reed is 1-under for the tournament after carding a 2-under-par 69 on Friday.
