LOS ANGELES -- Tiger Woods, playing in an official PGA Tour event for the first time in more than seven months, will be around for the weekend at the ...

On the ninth, his last hole, his second shot landed in a greenside bunker and he couldn't get up and down. Woods was more efficient with his iron play and work around the green, but he lost nearly 2 strokes to the field in putting during his round. The highlight of Woods' round came on the par-3 14th. Woods made putts of 10 feet and 5 feet to save par on Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, and sank another 10-footer for par on the 4th. So realistically I had two bad calls on the wind on six and nine and end up costing me 2 shots there." He missed four putts inside 10 feet in the first nine holes. Andrews in July, which was the last time he teed it up in an official event before this week. Just didn't make the putts early and the middle part of the round when I had those opportunities. With a 36-hole total of 1-over par, Woods was on the cut line and tied for 60th when play was suspended because of darkness at 8:39 p.m. This is now the first time Woods has played four rounds in an official PGA Tour event since he finished 47th at the Masters in April. A day earlier, he birdied each of his last three holes to card a 2-under 69.

His 1-over 143 turned out to be good enough to make the cut at Riviera Country Club. He will return for another round Saturday.

Just didn’t make the putts early and the middle part of the round when I had those opportunities. He came within inches of an ace on the par-3 14th, his fifth hole of the round, but he missed a 5-foot birdie chance two holes later. Eastern, (depending on how long it takes to finish the delayed second round early in the morning), there will be 36 more holes to savor a rare look at Tiger in action. Max Homa will head into this weekend with the solo lead at 10 under. Coverage of the third round will start on ESPN+ at noon Eastern, 1 p.m. That left him 11 shots back of the leader.

Max Homa had a 68 for a one-shot lead over Jon Rahm, Keith Mitchell and Lee Hodges at the Genesis Invitational.

He's just never the star of those shows, and so maybe he'll be in the next video. “That’s arguably the best bounce I’ve seen in person my whole golf career and it would be hard to beat in the future.” He went with a 5-wood from 270 yards on the par-5 17th and cooked it, sailing the green toward the back grandstands. Like I said, there’s a long way to go, but regardless, I can rest on the fact I’m playing great golf and I’m just going to try and do that for two more days.” Homa hit wedge to 4 feet to a pin tucked behind the bunker for a birdie on No. His round ended with trouble off the tee that led to bogey, but he had no complaints at 11-under 131 and his name atop the leaderboard.
