Sergio Garcia fired a seven-under 65 on Friday and held onto the 36-hole lead after Round 2 of The Players Championship. However, Tiger Woods is right on his tail, just one stroke behind after a second consecutive round of 67 put him at 10-under-par overall.

Garcia won this event in 2008 in a playoff, and Woods triumphed 12 years ago at the pinnacle of his dominance in the game of golf. If either one wins, Garcia or Woods would break the trend of the past 19 years in which no past champions have held the trophy on Sunday.

Birdies at Nos. 16 and 18 preceded a bogey just after the turn, but Garcia turned it on thereafter to the tune of five consecutive birdies and six in seven holes.

In hitting 15 of 18 greens in regulation, Garcia also capitalized, gaining more than four strokes on the rest of the field in putting—and made 146 total feet of putts. One of the best in the world from tee to green for years, the flatstick has been his downfall. Garcia is showing marked improvement there, though.
