Woods misses cut; Cantlay, Mcdowell in lead

LOS ANGELES — Tiger Woods waited 12 years to get back to Riviera and lasted only two days.

Woods had three straight bogeys early on the back nine Friday and didn’t play well enough to make up for his misses. He had a 5-overpar 76 and missed the cut in the Genesis Open for the first time in nine appearances as a pro.

He was at 6-over 148, one shot worse than his PGA Tour debut as a 16-year-old at Riviera.

“I missed every tee shot left and I did not putt well, didn’t feel very good on the greens,” Woods said. “And consequently, never made a run.”

Patrick Cantlay ran off three straight birdies toward the end of his morning round, starting with a tap-in on the par-3 sixth when he missed a hole-in-one by a fraction of an inch, and shot a 69.

He was tied with Graeme McDowell (66), the former U.S. Open champion who is trying to work his way back from a two-year slump, at 7-under 135.

Sam Saunders also was at 7 under, making back-to-back birdies until it was too dark to continue.
