Golf: Woods makes the cut in La Jolla - Cejka and Jäger fail

La Jolla (SID) Golf superstar Tiger Woods made the cut in dramatic fashion in his California home. The 14-time major winner qualified for the last two rounds of a tournament on the US tour for the first time in 143 months at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla near San Diego with a birdie on the last hole and a total of 29 strokes. "I fought hard. It's something I've done my entire career," said the 42-year-old after his second round: "I've been away for a few years, so it's nice to be able to compete out there again. But I need a few more rounds." The two Munich natives Alex Cejka and Stephan Jäger narrowly missed the cut with 144 strokes each. The American Ryan Palmer (133) is in the lead ahead of the Spaniard Jon Rahm (134), who would become the new number one in the world rankings by winning the tournament. Woods, who celebrated his last major success to date at the US Open in La Jolla in 2008, has not been able to play on the tour since February 2017 due to persistent back pain. He only made his comeback in November. In between, in April, the former number one in the world rankings underwent surgery on his damaged back for the fourth time. In the world rankings, Woods, who led them for a total of 683 weeks, is now ranked 647th.
