THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! TIGER ROARS INTO AUSSIE OPEN LEAD
FROM THE SKY SPORT WEBSITE
Tiger Woods stormed to the top of the Australian Open leaderboard at the halfway mark after shooting a five-under 67 in the second round at the Lakes Golf Club in Sydney today.
The former world number one, who had posted a 68 on day one, kicked off his round with a birdie at the 10th and then added four birdies in six holes from the 13th.
He made his first bogey of the tournament at the third but responded by holing a 25-foot birdie putt at the fourth before slipping up again at the sixth.
The American bounced back again with a birdie at the eighth following a stunning 280-yard approach to move to nine-under 135.
Australian Peter O'Malley (66) is one shot behind on eight under with Woods' playing partner Jason Day (68) third on seven under. Overnight leader Jarrod Lyle is back on five under after a 74.
"I played well today," said Woods. "I could have been a little lower over my first nine holes. I felt like I really didn't miss a shot. Even though I shot five under today, it felt like it easily could have been eight or nine deep.
"But it feels good to actually be there playing properly instead of slashing the ball all over the place."

PLAY HALTED AT SINGAPORE OPEN
SECOND ROUND
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Play was halted halfway through the second round of the $6 million co-sanctioned Singapore Open on Friday due to a weather warning.
Shortly before midday local time a weather warning sounded due to a threat of thunder, and a heavy rainstorm an hour later ensured the players remained off the course with more than 50 players yet to start their rounds.
Joint overnight leader James Morrison was one of the early starters and the Englishman had pulled two shots clear of the field by the 14th hole on the Serapong Course, improving to 11-under for the tournament before the delay.
Italy's Edoardo Molinari, who fired a matching nine-under 62 on the easier Tanjong Course on Thursday to sit alongside Morrison at the top of the leaderboard, had yet to start his second round.
