TIGER Woods battled through mud and scorching temperatures to stay in contention with a fighting 67 at Malaysia's CIMB Classic yesterday, leaving him five shots off leader Robert Garrigus.
The 14-time major winner mixed slices off the tee and errant putts with great escapes in a rollercoaster round watched by hundreds of loyal fans at the par-71 Mines Resort and Golf Club in Kuala Lumpur.
A day after raising the prospect of a 59 at the venue, softened by regular heavy rain, Woods was overshadowed by playing partner South African Jbe Kruger, who ignored the crowds and heat for 64 and second place, two off the leader.
American Garrigus carded his second 64 in a row for 14-under-par 128, raising hopes of only his second ever US PGA Tour win, with a low-scoring weekend in prospect at the no-cut, 48-man event with a US$6.1 million purse.
Kruger was alone in second with Greg Chalmers and Troy Matteson, the overnight leader, two shots further back. Woods, Brendon de Jonge and Kevin Na were grouped on 9 under.
