Enlarge Photo Tiger Woods of the U.S. reacts after missing a putt on the 14th hole during... Another frustrating day with the putter left Tiger Woods closer to the cut line than the lead at the AT&T National on Friday.Woods shot a respectable even-par 70 in the second round on the demanding Aronimink course in suburban Philadelphia, but had reason to believe it could have been much better.
"When you're not making any putts, what are you going to do," Woods told reporters after recording a three-over 143 halfway total that left him seven strokes behind clubhouse leader Jeff Overton.
"The last two days is the best I've driven it in a long time. My irons were a little better than yesterday but I didn't really make anything and consequently shot even par.
"If you don't make putts, no matter how good you hit the ball, you're not going to shoot good scores.
"For some reason today I couldn't release the blade and couldn't get the toe moving. I have to work on that."
His worst mistake was a putt from barely two feet that he missed at the eighth, his penultimate hole.
As well as he is driving, Woods has not given up hope of posting his first win of the year.
"Greg (Norman) always said if you started six back on Sunday you could still win and that's certainly within reason," he said.
"I've just got to put together two good rounds and see where that leaves me."
