Lahiri misses cut, Woods starts superbly in third round

Pacific Palisades (USA), Feb 17: Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri bogeyed two of his last three holes in the second round to miss the cut at the Genesis Open tournament here.
Lahiri ended with rounds of 77-73 and was rather low on the leaderboard at nine-over as the cut fell at even par.
Coming back after a three-week break during which he became a first-time father, Lahiri returned for Honda Classic, hoping to find his rhythm back.
Meanwhile, Justin Thomas, who is seeking the 10th win of his PGA TOUR career, was at 13 under and has a one-shot lead over playing partner Adam Scott, with Patrick Rodgers and J B Holmes another shot back.
Tiger Woods, who was just one shot above the cut line after the second round, has sprung into action and a tie for 14th with a birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie start off the 10th tee in the third round.
“I’ve got some work to do,” said Woods, who hoped to get up-and-down to save par at the 17th once play resumes.
It will be a longer-than-usual day for all 76 players who made the cut. No one has completed the third round, which did not start until mid-Saturday afternoon as the seven-hour delay to start the tournament on Thursday continues to play havoc with the playing schedule.
The Genesis Open in reality is just past the halfway mark with only the final day left. (PTI)
