Tiger Woods is still managing to make history at the Masters, but he still has his sights set on the biggest possible prize.
Despite having to play 23 holes on Friday due to a delay, Woods managed to shoot an even-par 72 in the second round, ensuring that he would make the cut at a 24th consecutive Masters. That is a new record, and an impressive one in light of the mediocre conditions and his physical health.
