Late rally lifts Woods in Florida

Two late birdies almost certainly saved Tiger Woods from a missed cut at the Honda Classic in Florida today – but like playing partner Lee Westwood the American was seven strokes off the early pace.

After Woods pulled his tee shot into the water on his way to a double bogey on the short fifth – his 14th – he dropped to 71st place on his first appearance at the event since he was a 17-year-old amateur.
