Snedeker is leading in Boston; Woods shoots 65

NORTON, Mass. -- Jason Day and Brandt Snedeker played in far different conditions and wound up with a share of the lead Saturday after two rounds of the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Snedeker went from the rain of Hurricane Earl to breezy conditions Saturday morning for a 7-under 64. The wind gained strength throughout the afternoon, and Day did well to post a 67 to join him atop the leaderboard.

They were at 12-under 130 and had a one-shot lead over FedEx Cup leader Matt Kuchar (65) and Charley Hoffman (67).

Tiger Woods had quite a turnaround. One day after he bogeyed four of his first six holes, he birdied four of his first seven to shoot a 6-under 65 to not only make the cut, but give himself thoughts of winning. He was seven shots behind at the halfway point. 

 .. . . . . . . . 

It was an important day for Woods, who is No. 65 in the FedEx Cup standings and needs to be among the top 70 after this week to advance to the third round of the playoffs at the BMW Championship, where he is the defending champion.

That started with making the cut, and Woods was at 5-under 137, in the middle of the pack.
"I had to shoot a good one if I was going to move on, and I was able to do that today," Woods said. "I just felt better today. I just felt more energetic and ready to go."

Woods knew he would have to find his form quickly starting on No. 1, which is the easier portion of the TPC Boston. He had a two-putt birdie on the par-5 second, drove over the green on the par-4 fourth and got up-and-down for birdie, then added birdies on the sixth and seventh holes to take the drama out of his round.
"Considering I didn't miss a shot for the first six holes ... it was a good start," he said.
