Tiger Woods can thank good friend Justin Thomas for helping to extend his streak of consecutive cuts made at the Masters to a record-tying 23 on Saturday.

Woods was in danger of missing it for the first time as a professional when he bogeyed his final two holes in driving rain. That left Woods at 3 over and tied for 52nd, while the top 50 and ties make the cut.

Moments after Woods signed his scorecard, Thomas missed a short par putt at the 17th, dropping him to 3-over and bringing everyone at that number inside the cut line.

Thomas then bogeyed the 18th, ensuring Woods would play the rest of the weekend and match Fred Couples and Gary Player for the longest streak of cuts made at the Masters.

“I’ve always loved this golf course, and I love playing this event,” Woods said.

The second round was suspended Friday when storms swept over the course.

Among those who made the cut was leader Brooks Koepka, who dodged the bad weather on Friday.
