New York, Sep.5 (ANI): Golfer Tiger Woods didn't hit a bad shot through six holes and played bogey-free for the first time in more than a year for a 6-under 65 in the Deutsche Bank Championship at the TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts.
Woods, who started in a tie for 87th, moved up to a tie for 29th and was seven shots behind with 36 holes to play.
"I had to shoot a good one if I was going to move on, and I was able to do that today (Saturday)," CBS News quoted Woods, as saying.
One day after Jason Day opened with a 63 in conditions so calm he might as well have been playing indoors, he found out quickly what he was up against Saturday in tree-shaking wind on the TPC at Boston. He hit a tee shot down the middle and found it in the right rough. He aimed his 9-iron 10 yards left of his target and saw it fly over the green.
Day got away with it by chipping in for birdie on his way to a 4-under 67 to share the lead with Brandt Snedeker, the second straight week the 22-year-old Australian has been a 36-hole leader in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
"It was a little tougher out there. "It wasn't as fun as yesterday, I'll tell you that much," Day was quoted, as saying.
Defending champion Steve Stricker made it through another round without a bogey and was at 9-under 133, while Phil Mickelson started hitting fairways and making putts and was in the group at 8-under 134 that included Ryder Cup hopeful Stewart Cink, Hunter Mahan, Zach Johnson and Andres Romero.
