McGinley right in the hunt in Ohio

Ireland's Paul McGinley moved into position to challenge for the NEC World Championship in Akron this weekend as Tiger Woods, who had been leading by two, finished with a double-bogey six.

The world number one, back at the venue where he has won three times and had nothing worse than a fourth-place finish in his last five visits, for once could not recover from driving wildly right into the trees and had to be content with a level-par 70.
