Tiger Woods has shot a
season-low, second-round 63 to move into contention at the Buick
Open.

Poor putting led to an awful start in the first round in Woods'
first tournament since missing the cut at the British Open.

Woods teed off early Friday morning, hitting his first drive 342
yards straight into the blinding sun. He went on to a
birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie start to remove the remote chance
he would miss the cut in consecutive events for the first time as a
pro.

Woods followed up what he called probably the worst putting day
of his career with a good one, helping go into the weekend at
10-under 134.

Michael Letzig (65) had the clubhouse lead at 12 under.
