in to lead at Quail Hollow


FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS SERVICE
Bubba Watson fired a superb seven-under-par second round of 65 to grab a share of the lead at the Quail Hollow Championships in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Watson equalled the course record of 30 over the front nine at Quail Hollow Club and carded eight birdies and an eagle against three bogeys to draw level with Retief Goosen at the top of the leaderboard on eight under par.
Overnight leader Tiger Woods bogeyed two of his final three holes to finish level par for the day and seven-under for the tournament alongside Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson and George McNeill.
Watson began his second round on the 10th and having opened with a birdie and then a bogey, sank three consecutive birdies from the 14th to gather momentum.
He was briefly checked by bogeys at the 17th and 18th to reach the halfway point one-under but birdies at the first, third and fourth saw Watson climbing the leaderboard.
A 27-foot putt at the seventh brought an eagle and a birdie at the eighth saw him end the day level with Goosen, who completed a second consecutive 68.
Goosen sank six birdies, the highlight a 31-foot putt on the 10th, with just two bogeys in his four-under effort.
Woods, meanwhile, began his day with a bogey at the first but fought back with birdies at the fifth, ninth - courtesy of a 55-foot putt - and 10th before finding a greenside bunker at the 16th which led to a bogey.
The 33-year-old then dropped another shot at the last to fall one shot behind the leading pair.
