For all intents and purposes, Tiger Woods’ U.S. Open is over.
The 14-time major champion continued his implosion at Shinnecock Hills with a second-round 72 on Friday, closing with two consecutive birdies to bring his two-day total to 10-over. Even if the afternoon wave of players shoots high scores, Woods remains on the outside of an early projected cut line around 8-over.

Better that than ridiculous winning scores of 30 under par.
Yes Tiger is not yet making a comeback (if he ever does) at the 2018 U.S. Open.
Then again, at the end of day two he is still ahead of some recent era top players, like Matt Kucher, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, John Rahm, Martin Kaymer.
Even Justin Thomas is in a tie for 15th place at 8 points behind the leader, along with Jason Dufner, Jim Furyk and 7 others.
I still see Tiger as in “recovery” mode after lots of surgeries and retraining to get his body to play without too much pain and near as natural as it use to. He may never have a real “comeback”.
I think there is too much focus on him; then again I am not running a TV channel selling advertizing.
I guess Tiger is not making the cut for day three (+8).
I still believe when he came back too soon and won that 2008 Open, it cost him future Major victories to get that one.
I am not an expert. You could be right.
I suspect for one, he probably started to get addicted to painkillers, in addition to probably the permanent body damage he caused in hastening his return, he could barely walk just weeks before the 2008 US Open.

Woods' use of steroids is just as legitimate as Trump's collusion with the Russians..........
Both are bogus allegations and no proof whatsoever............
To say nothing about the surgeries he has undergone over the years:
December 1994: Surgery on left knee to remove two benign tumors and scar tissue.
Dec. 13, 2002: Surgery on left knee to remove fluid inside and outside the ACL and remove benign cysts from his left knee. Misses the season opener in 2003.
August 2007: Ruptures the ACL in his left knee while running on a golf course after the British Open, but is able to keep playing. Wins five of the last six tournaments he plays, including the PGA Championship for his 13th major.
April 15, 2008: Two days after the Masters, has arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to repair cartilage damage.
May 2008: Advised weeks before the U.S. Open that he has two stress fractures of the left tibia and should rest for six weeks, the first three weeks on crutches.
June 24, 2008: Eight days after winning the U.S. Open, has surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee by using a tendon from his right thigh. Additional cartilage damage is repaired. Misses the rest of the season and does not return until the Match Play Championship at the end of February 2009.
December 2008: Injured his Achilles tendon in his right leg as he was running while preparing to return to golf.
May 9, 2010: Withdrew from the final round of The Players Championship, citing a bulging disk. He later said it was a neck issue that caused tingling in his right side, and that it first became a problem as he began practicing harder for his return to the Masters a month earlier.
April 10, 2011: Injures his left Achilles tendon hitting from an awkward stance below Eisenhower's Tree on the 17th at Augusta National. Withdraws from the Wells Fargo Championship.
May 12, 2011: Withdraws from The Players Championship after a 42 on the front nine. Diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his left knee and in his left Achilles tendon. He misses the next two months, including two majors, returning at the Bridgestone Invitational.
March 11, 2012: Feels tightness in his left Achilles tendon and withdraws after 11 holes of the final round in the Cadillac Championship at Doral. He wins in his next start at Bay Hill, his first PGA Tour victory since the scandal in his personal life.
June 13, 2013: Is seen shaking his left arm during the opening round of the U.S. Open. He later says it's a left elbow strain that he injured while winning The Players Championship a month earlier. He misses two tournaments and returns at the British Open.
Aug. 21, 2013: Two weeks after the PGA Championship, he only chips and putts on the back nine of the pro-am at The Barclays, complaining of a stiff neck and back that he attributed to a soft bed in the hotel. By Sunday at The Barclays, he dropped to his knees after one shot because of back spasms.
March 2, 2014: Withdraws after 13 holes of the final round at The Honda Classic because of lower back pain and spams, describing it as similar to what he felt at The Barclays.
March 9, 2014: Plays the final 12 holes with pain in his lower back, saying it began to flare up after hitting out of the bunker from an awkward lie in the Cadillac Championship at Doral. He shoots 78, the highest score of his career in a final round.

October 2015: Woods has a procedure to "relieve discomfort" in his back and sets no timetable for his return to the PGA Tour.
April 20, 2017: Woods undergoes a fourth back surgery. The spinal fusion, labeled "a success" was to alleviate pain he had been experiencing in his back and leg.
And, the wives of your fellow players make it worse. Just ask the the leader.
The state of the culture. smh.
It’s not the course! It’s the players!! About time they are tested.
“will tune in to watch, but Tiger is one I will always tune in on, and root for. I think he will come back and start winning. Not sure when, but I want to be there when he does”
He won Tourneys / Majors, no if ands or buts because of roids. His career was dead for five years due to injuries because of his years on roids. Then the Hookers and Porn Stars which destroyed a marriage. And from a large body of evidence he is just not that well liked and not because of poor Sports jealous of his “success” But Party on!
Heck, I shoot a ten over par on a nine hole course.
Saving this. Thanks for finding and posting it, HT!
Has anyone done that? I thought the record for the Masters anyway was -18.
There’s no doubt Tigger was on PEDs during his major run.
One can only guess what his major record would be if he had not juiced.
There should be an asterisk next to those 14 majors.
Yes, yes, and yes, he has had major reconstructive surgery, and is using expert trainers, rehabilitator, and coaches, he has the best long game on tour in my opinion, just has to get better on his short game. I don’t require anyone’s permission to admire this mans grit. Women are nothing but trouble, many are worth the effort, many are not. The same is true for men, some are worth the trouble, some are not. I am dealing with golf tho, not women. My hope is that he can separate the two, and will watch expectantly.
I really will root him on to success.
Well they still have the Yankees and Red Sox
Love watching a rich, wife cheating, steroid using jerk get humbled
