Woosnam was the victor at Augusta 17 years ago

Ian Woosnam fired a final round of 78 to finish six over in the Masters at Augusta.

The Welshman made his first halfway cut in the event since 2000, a year after he feared he might never play again.

The 1991 champion, 50, missed last year's tournament because of a battle with chronic fatigue syndrome that kept him out of action for eight months.

He scored a 75 in his opening round on Friday, followed by a fine second-round 71 and 76 in his third round.

"It's nice being a senior - you just hit the ball and don't get nervous," said the Welsh ex-world number one after round two.

"I just keep spasming up all the time. Very much in the morning.

"As I get going I seem to get better, so that's a good sign. Hopefully it's getting better.

"I haven't really played for a year. Friday was the first round I walked around in a year. And Saturday was the second one.

"So that's a tough enough achievement as it is."
