Tiger Woods takes World Challenge lead


Northwestern Mutual World Challenge, California, second-round leaderboard (US unless stated)

    -11: T Woods
    -9: Z Johnson
    -8: M Kuchar
    -5: G McDowell (NI)
    -4: B Watson
    Selected others: -1 I Poulter (Eng); +5 L Westwood (Eng); +6 R McIlroy (NI)

World number one Tiger Woods struck a brilliant 10-under-par 62 in the second round of the World Challenge to eke a two-stroke lead at the halfway stage. Woods hit 10 birdies in a blemish-free round to finish 11 under overall.

Zach Johnson trailed Woods on nine under after a four-under-par 68, while fellow American Matt Kuchar was third in California on eight under.

Elsewhere, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell was fourth on five under after a five-under-par 67. England's Ian Poulter was tied for eighth, an impressive five-under-par 67 took him into the red on one under.

Poulter's compatriot Lee Westwood was some distance behind, tied for 13th on five over after two rounds, while Rory McIlroy was a shot behind in 16th. Woods, who had shot a one-under-par round on the opening day, collected five birdies over the first nine holes to reach the turn in 31.

His superb form continued on the back nine and he eventually overtook overnight leader Johnson, who had mirrored Wood's efforts over his first six holes but could not keep pace with his compatriot.
