Tee Ball Leads Place Down Geiberger

"I got off to a bad start, but regrouped with that birdie on No. 4, " Armour admitted. "I didn't drive it well on the back nine."

 

The two-time Nationwide Tour winner parred his next four holes. Down the stretch, he turned it on. Bowden birdied the par-four 15th from 18 feet out and made it two straight as he drained an improbable 80-foot putt at 16.

 

That 70 almost never happened either. His daughter got sick earlier in the week and he almost withdrew. Instead, he made the last-minute decision to come and it is paying dividends.

 

"I came into this week without any expectations at all," admitted Bowden. "After the first day, I thought it would be an absolute moral victory to just make the cut. I have no expectations tomorrow. I'll just go out, have fun and think about my daughter."

 

Second-round leader Bradley Hughes faltered to a four-over 75 that dropped him all the way into a share of 35th.

 

Standing in Woods' way on Sunday will be Scott Verplank, Lucas Glover and Robert Allenby, all of whom shot 66s on Saturday and are knotted at 16-under- par 200.

 

As if trying to catch Woods on Sunday wasn't a difficult enough task, Verplank and Glover have other things on their mind. Both are outside the top-10 on the United States Ryder Cup points list with only three weeks remaining to automatically qualify.

 

Some players finished their second rounds on Saturday morning. Play has finally caught up as Thursday's action was called early due to inclement weather and unplayable course conditions.

 

When Taylor, who is 11th on the American Ryder Cup points list, three-putted the 17th green for a bogey, Woods tapped in a short birdie putt at 10 to draw even.

 

He parred that hole and 15, where he hit a nine-iron from 175 yards out. Woods pulled another outrageous club at the par-five 16th, when he roped a four- iron from 248 yards to 30 feet. His eagle putt came up well short, but Woods converted the five-footer for birdie and the outright lead.

 

His drive on the 18th became a tale of two different types of luck. Woods' tee ball struck a spectator in the hand, but sent the ball back into the fairway. After an autographed glove and quick check on the man's health, Woods knocked his second to seven feet. He drained the putt to give himself the two-shot advantage.

 

"You can't sit around and make a bunch of pars," said Woods, who won this title in 2002. "I made some nice putts and basically just stayed out of trouble."
