Tiger stalks prey

Tiger Woods has pulled himself back into contention as the second round of the HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai entered its final stages.

The world number one hit six birdies and an eagle on the 14th put him at seven under and in a share of second place.

He is now just three shots off leader Jyoti Randhawa, who finished the day three shots under-par to put him on an impressive 10-under overall.

The little-known Indian, who won the Hero Honda Indian Open this year, putted consistently well throughout the second round and looks likely to keep his place at the top of the leaderboard by the close of play

Retief Goosen had moved to within one of the lead after a birdie on the 11th, but a birdie from Randhawa on the fifth moved him away from the chasing pack.

Meanwhile, early leader Marc Warren slipped down the leaderboard as his good display on the back nine was let down by three bogeys coming home but he picked up to par his remaining holes to finish one under par, a seven-under 137 in total.

After three consecutive birdies on his first three holes, defending champion David Howell carded a double bogey on the fifth and followed that disappointment with three bogies on the back nine.

Henrik Stenson added to his five birdies after his first nine holes to hit two more coming home and leave him seven-under with two holes remaining.

Elsewhere, Chris DiMarco suffered a bad round as he hit two bogeys and a double bogey on the 14th to leave him at three-over-par with five holes left to play.

Colin Montgomerie was tied at 13th place with three holes remaining while Paul Casey was tied at 27th though the HSBC World Matchplay champion had improved on his first round display with four birdies and just one bogey after 14 holes.
