AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Tiger Woods is advancing to the round of 16 with his win over Patrick Cantlay and Brandt Snedeker’s loss to Aaron Wise.
Woods seized control of his match with an eagle from 82 yards out on the par-4 13th, a hole where he hit into the water a day earlier.
Woods is the No. 13 seed and needed to win to have any chance of advancing to the weekend elimination rounds.
His 4-and-2 victory and Snedeker’s 6-and-4 loss to Wise loss allowed Woods to win his group.
Henrik Stinson was the first player in the 64-player field to advance to the weekend when he beat Jim Furyk 5-and-4.
