Woods shoots 65 To Get Into Contention. Go Tiger!

 Tiger shot a great game today, continuing on the late rounds yesterday, ending up at -5. This was a very important and decisive day for Woods. He needed to make the cut and he also needed to advance to the 3rd round of the FedEx Cup Championship. Now if he could just do this again tomorrow, who knows?

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.

Golf Roundup - Tiger Woods Seeks to Climb in FedEx Cup Standing

By LARRY DORMAN Published: September 1, 2010

"NORTON, Mass. — Looking loose, rested and ready, Tiger Woods arrived at the T.P.C. Boston shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday. He went right to work in a practice session aimed at carrying over the positives from his final round at the Barclays last week into this week’s Deutsche Bank Championship.

With temperatures in the high 90s turning the course into a sizzling, outdoor steam room, Woods went through every club in his bag on the lower driving range and carried two baskets of balls up to the pitching area to continue working with Sean Foley, his de facto but still unofficial swing coach. Then he headed out for nine practice holes.
 
Last year, Woods needed only to maintain a pulse to get to the Tour Championship, the fourth and final event in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs, but he won the third event, the BMW Championship, and his second FedEx Cup.

Last week, he made one big jump — to 65th on the FedEx Cup points list, from 112th — with a tie for 12th place at the Barclays. He is coming to the right place to make another. Since the inception of the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2003, Woods has compiled one victory (2006), two runner-up finishes (2004, 2007) and a tie for seventh (2003) at T.P.C. Boston. His worst finish in the tournament was a tie for 40th in 2005
