Tiger Woods Rises Up Leaderboard with 6-Under Round 2 at Hero World Challenge

After a frustrating first round that left him scrambling for answers, Tiger Woods is back in contention at the Hero World Challenge.

Woods carded a six-under 66 in Thursday's second round, vaulting him into a tie for sixth place and six strokes behind leader Patrick Reed. He played a bogey-less round and ramped up his play on the back nine, carding three of his four birdies and an eagle to head into the clubhouse with a 31.

The round continued a strong stretch of golf for Woods since he returned from August knee surgery. He won October's Zozo Championship with four straight rounds in the 60s and righted the ship after an ugly round Wednesday that saw him post four bogeys and a double to scrape by for an even-par 72.
