Tiger Woods has a share of a lead at a major again, and this time he's not giving it up.

In round one, Tiger one-putted 12 greens and he did the same on six out of the first seven on Friday.



Then he had a bit of the struggle late in the second round. But that can be attributed to huge wind gusts, which made even the shortest of putts difficult.

It was tough out there. Wow. You can't take anything for granted. A simple tap-in is not a simple tap-in. The putter is oscillating all over the place and the ball is oscillating, and you know you have to make an adjustment. At least I was on my downswing and my putts, because the putter is being blo...
