The world's No. 1 player, Rory McIlroy, was among the many marquee names that missed the cut at The Players Championship on Friday, while Tiger Woods had a very good round today and has a fighting chance going into the weekend.

McIlroy followed yesterday's even-par 72 with a four-over 76. Yesterday he made four birdies and two bogeys, but on the Island Green, McIlroy visited the water and made a double-bogey five which dropped him to even-par for the day.

He sank the birdie-putt and finished his round later on at two-under for the tournament. A very good confidence boost for Woods who is six shots behind the co-leaders Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Kevin Na.
