He finished the first two rounds of play 7-over and tied for 27th in a field of 36 golfers. Miles Russell, the No. 1 ranked junior golfer in the AJGA Rolex Rankings and defending tournament champion, leads at 10-under overall.
Woods opened the second round with five consecutive pars, including on No. 14, which he triple bogeyed in the first round, before finding double bogey trouble on No. 15, a par 4, and No. 16, a par 3.
He rallied down the stretch on Thursday with birdies on three of his last six holes, including his final two of the round.
The Junior Invitational has established an accomplished list of champions in less than two decades of competition. Scottie Scheffler, the world’s current world No. 1 golfer, won the event in 2014.
