GOLF: Woods In Contention With 66 At Quicken Loans National

Tiger Woods recorded his lowest 36-hole total in two years after firing a five-under 66 to put himself in contention at the Quicken Loans National.

Friday's display, which followed an opening-round 68, placed him on eight under and three shot off the lead held by Japan's Ryo Ishikawa.

England's Greg Owen is also on eight under along with seven other players.Woods, a 14-time major winner, missed the cut at both the US Open and The Open.


The 39-year-old's form has worsened in the past year, having fallen from world number one in 2014 to 266.

Woods's 134 shots is his lowest two-round total since the 2013 World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

On Friday, he only made one bogey and sunk six birdies at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. His fellow Americans Rickie Fowler and Kevin Chappell are a shot behind Ishikawa, on 10 under.
