“I do not feel as well as I would like to feel,” Woods admitted. “It does not matter. Like I said, I have the opportunity to go into the weekend. I hope to have one of these lamp moments and turn it on at the weekend and do it.
“You’ve seen kids do it with the opportunity to get back to nine. If you’re in five or six and you go to nine back, anything can happen. I have to get there, that’s the key.
Woods shuffled four birds with six bogs during his second round
“Tomorrow will be a big day. It will be cool. It will be hard. Again, the wind is supposed to blow again and difficult scoring conditions. I have to go out there and run my business and get in the red and I have the opportunity to go to that back nine on Sunday.
“Obviously, there are some people out there who do not have a hard time. Scotty [Scheffler] and JT [Justin Thomas] they run their business out there but, hello, I made the cut. I have the opportunity to go on the weekend “.
