Woods makes weekend cut at Torrey Pines

Ryan Palmer is the 36-hole leader in the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego. Jon Rahm is right behind, poised to reach No. 1 in the world. And for the first time in 29 months, a PGA Tour event will feature Tiger Woods on the weekend. Palmer finished eagle-birdie on the North Course at Torrey Pines for a 5-under 67 and is 11-under through two rounds. He had a one-shot lead over Rahm, the defending champion who birdied two of his last three holes on the North for a 66. Woods had to rally to make the cut in his return from a fourth back surgery. He was on the wrong side of the green on the par-5 ninth on the North and two-putted from 75 feet for birdie for a 71 to make the cut on the number at 1-under in a group that included Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C. (71). Ben Silverman of Thornhill, Ont. (71) and Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont. (68) were the top Canadians at 4-under, while Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford (70) sat at 3-under.
