I\u2019m here.<br \/>\n\u201cI have a chance to win the golf tournament.\u201d<br \/>\nThe 48-year-old arrived at the year\u2019s first major facing a challenge that was certain to test his will and injury-battered body, the most recent ankle surgery last April.<br \/>\nComing into Augusta, Woods had played just 24 holes this year and had to play nearly as many on a marathon Friday that began with completing the last five holes of his weather-delayed opening round for a one-over 73, followed immediately by another 18.<br \/>\nUnder brilliant blue skies, Woods was clearly up for the fight and he mixed four birdies with the same number of bogeys through a rollercoaster round.<br \/>\nRory McIlroy\u2019s bid to complete the career Grand Slam remains alive but just barely after the Northern Irishman laboured to a five-over 77 that did not include a single birdie.<br \/>\nThe world number two finished with a two-day total of four-over to sneak in under the six-over cut but was not ready to wave the white flag even if a massive 10 back of the lead.<br \/>\n\u201cI won from 10 back in Dubai at the start of the year,\u201d said McIlroy. \u201cI still think I can go out tomorrow and shoot a low one, get back into red numbers, and have half a chance going into Sunday.\u201d<br \/>\nJon Rahm was not quite as optimistic at a successful defence of this Masters crown after the Spaniard returned a 76 to leave him trailing by 11 strokes.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s about as hard a golf course as I\u2019ve seen in a very long time,\u201d said Rahm. \u201cHopefully I can just make up some ground tomorrow.\u201d<br \/>\nSome high-profile names were headed home early from the year\u2019s first major.<br \/>\nFormer Masters champions Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Sergio Garcia were among the casualties, as were reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark and 2023 British Open winner Brian Harman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa, and Scottie Scheffler share the lead after the second round of the Masters.
