If ever there was a day when his extraordinary cut streak was going to end, this was it. But as he's done time and again, Woods wriggled his way out of danger yesterday, holing a 60-foot putt for the first of back-to-back birdies that enabled him to finish with 73 for a 1-over 143 at the Western Open.

"It's just a matter of always playing hard," he said. "The old saying goes, 'You can't have the switch on and off.' You've got to have it always on, and that's how I've always played."

When play was completed 6-1/2 hours later, the line was 2 over and Woods had made his 126th consecutive cut, the longest streak in PGA Tour history.
