Woods in contention at Quicken Loans after a 5-under 66
GAINESVILLE, Va. - Tiger Woods is in contention for his first victory in nearly two years after a 5-under 66 in the second round of the Quicken Loans National.
Woods birdied six of his final 13 holes. The unlikeliest was his final birdie, a 36-footer on his next-to-last hole that he celebrated with a big fist pump. Woods is three shots back of leader Ryo Ishikawa, who leads at 11-under.
Rickie Fowler carded a 6-under 65 on Friday, leaping 16 spots up the leaderboard. He's in second place at 10-under after two rounds.
Woods is the tournament host and a two-time winner of the event. It is being played for the first time at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.
Woods' best finish in eight previous tournaments this year is a tie for 17th. His ranking has fallen to 266th. Two years ago, he was No. 1.
