Target World Challenge at Thousand Oaks, California

TIGER WOODS TAKES THE LEAD
- BUT HE'S NOT HAPPY!

The Target World Challenge tournament at Sherwood Country Club, Thousand Oaks in California is reminding us, if we needed reminding, that Tiger Woods really is in a class of his own.
It's his first competitive outing since the world championships in October, yet so far he has shot back-to-back 68s to lead by one shot with an eight-under-par tally of 136.
Overnight leader, Sweden's Henrik Stenson slipped from a 66 to a 71 for 137.
Woods has had nine birdies and one three-putt bogey over the first two rounds - but still he is not happy with his game!
"I'm hoping to tidy everything up over the last two rounds," said the world's No 1 golf perfectionist who is the host of this tournament
Stenson, who was partnering Tiger, marred his own card with a double-bogey on the par-3 12th.
"He's a fantastic putter," said the Swede later, having watched Woods holed a couple of birdie putts of at least 40ft in length.
First prize is $1.35million. The last place finisher in this invited field will get $170,000.
Colin Montgomerie slipped back to joint eighth place on 142 after a 72.
Just in case you think they are playing over a kind of pitch-and-putt course, look to the bottom of the elite scoreboard and you will see that Adam Scott is on 11-over-par 155, having shot rounds of 75 and 80.
Which puts the Australian 19 shots in arrears of Tiger Woods after only 36 holes. Yes, Tiger is different class.
