Woods does better but settles for 70
Print Edition
AN ill Tiger Woods made his first eagle in 16 months on his way to a 2-under par 70 in Friday’s rain-hit second round of the Hero World Challenge.
The former world No. 1, playing his first tournament since August’s PGA Championship, closed with a double bogey after a two-hour rain delay to stay last in the 18-man event in Windermere, Florida, on 3-over 147 after 36 holes.
“It really didn’t feel that much different than it did yesterday,” Woods said, alluding to his opening 77. “I hit maybe two fewer worse shots. I hit it solid.”
After fighting a morning fever and coughs during his round, Woods showed flashes of the form that brought him 14 major titles, four shy of the record set by Jack Nicklaus. Ranked 24th, he had his first eagle since the second round of last year’s WGC event at Firestone by sinking a six-foot putt at the par-5 13th hole.
US Ryder Cup member Patrick Reed shot a 63 playing alongside Woods in round one, wearing a red shirt as Woods does on Sundays in his first event pairing with his boyhood idol.
Reed had five birdies and an eagle on the front nine and birdied 10 to spark dreams of a 59 of his own, but a bogey at 12 spoiled that hope even after birdies at 13 and 16 that left him sharing third with England’s Justin Rose on 8 under.
Jordan Spieth was at 5 under for the second round on the 18th green when it became too dark for him to finish, leaving him atop the leaderboard at 11 under overall, two shots ahead of clubhouse leader Henrik Stenson of Sweden.
