Woods' impressive streak at Augusta National showcases his ability to perform consistently at the highest level. Throughout his career, he has shown his mastery of the course, and this year is no exception. Despite facing challenges, Woods managed to hit 11 or more fairways in each of the first two rounds of The Masters, a feat he has achieved twice as a professional.

He remains six shots behind the leaders, Max Homa and Bryson DeChambeau, who are currently tied for the lead at 7-under.

Woods' performance on Friday showcased moments of brilliance, such as a chip-in birdie on the par-3 sixth hole. This shot allowed him to bounce back from back-to-back bogeys on holes four and five, bringing his score to +1 for the championship. Despite the challenges, Woods has managed to hold strong through Amen Corner, leaving him in a favorable position.

As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Woods to see if he can make a charge up the leaderboard and contend for another prestigious Masters title. With his record-setting 24th consecutive cut made at The Masters, Woods has once again proven himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of golf.

The competition remains fierce, with Bryson DeChambeau reclaiming the lead with a birdie on the seventh hole. However, Woods' consistent performance and ability to rise to the occasion cannot be underestimated.

In a surprising turn of events, Vijay Singh looks set to make the cut at Augusta National, marking his first appearance in six years.
