US Open: Woods finally gets a birdie

Woods finally birdied at the 412-yard 12th to improve to three over par, but Faldo followed his six at the ninth with another at the 374-yard 10th.

The two double bogeys had sent him tumbling to four over par and suddenly the task was to survive the cut, likely to fall at around five over.
