The lowest prior halfway score in major golf history was 130, managed five times, including by American Gary Woodland at last year's PGA. Woods struggled in his first event since ending an 11-year major win drought by capturing last month's Masters for his 15th major title. Johnson, whose only major title came at the 2016 US Open, reeled off five birdies in seven holes in one stretch. Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy was one inside the cut line on 143, among 82 to reach the weekend. Those missing the cut besides Woods included Spain's Jon Rahm on 145 and cart-aided John Daly, who went 75-76.
