Tiger Woods Stays Tied for 2018 Tour Championship Lead After Strong Round 2

Tiger Woods followed up his excellent first-round performance at the 2018 Tour Championship with a solid 68 on Friday.

Through 36 holes, Woods remains tied with Justin Rose for first placeat seven-under par.

Coming into Friday's round, Dylan Dethier of Golf.com noted the first nine holes were playing more difficult than the back nine.

"The front nine is playing about a stroke-and-a-half over par," Dethier wrote. "The back nine is playing a full shot under par. Neither Woods nor his competition needs to get off to a hot start to stay in good position; scoring will come with patience on the back nine.
