Tiger Woods back in form in Virginia

Tiger Woods was in contention for his first PGA Tour win in two years as he lay in joint third after his second round of the Quicken Loans National.

The 39-year-old shot a five-under-par 66 yesterday to go with his opening round 68 as he lay on eight under in Gainesville, Virginia. Sweden’s David Lingmerth was the clubhouse leader on nine under, with a host of players still on the course.

Woods, who missed consecutive cuts in major championships for the first time in his career in the US Open and Open, carded six birdies and one bogey to remain on track to arrest the miserable run.
