At his age and after all his injuries, Tiger Woods just wants "some food and some caffeine" following a gruelling second day of the Masters on April 12.
The 48-year-old battled his way to make a record 24th straight cut at 2024's first Major with a dastardly wind conspiring against him, but an adoring crowd cheering him through a marathon 23 holes - his first round was suspended after 13 holes due to darkness.
For the five-time Masters champion and 15-time Major winner, the milestone of surpassing Gary Player and Fred Couples' streak of 23 straight cuts made was no doubt a matter of some pride.
Woods, despite all his operations throughout the years, remains the supreme competitor and his thoughts quickly turned to his goals for the weekend.
"It means I have a chance going into the weekend. I'm here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament," he said, when asked of the significance of his achievement.
The American golf great, who carded an even-par 72, is on oneover 145 after two rounds, seven strokes off the lead and with plenty to do if he truly is to get into contention.
