Woods in Contention at Quicken Loans After a 5-Under 66

GAINESVILLE, Va. — Tiger Woods is in contention for his first victory in nearly two years after a 5-under 66 in the second round of the Quicken Loans National.

Woods birdied six of his final 13 holes. The unlikeliest was his final birdie, a 36-footer on his next-to-last hole that he celebrated with a big fist pump. With most of Friday's early starters finished, Woods is tied for second, one shot behind leader David Lingmerth.

Woods is the tournament host and a two-time winner of the event. It is being played for the first time at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.
