Mount Juliet must become a tougher test, says Tiger tamer

TIGER WOODS last night chided the world's golf federations for not making Mount Juliet a tougher test for the game's finest exponents in the American Express World Championship.

The $5.5million event has reached the halfway stage, with the world number one standing 14 under par and still only two ahead of his nearest rivals.

It already looks as if Woods has one hand on the million-dollar first prize, and that the rest are essentially playing for second place. Another great crowd saw him produce his second successive blemish-free round of 65, which this time, contained birdies at each of the four par fives, as opposed to Thursday, when he managed only one.
