Golf-Tiger roars back with bogey-free 65 in the Bahamas (Reuters)

Dec 2 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods, in his second round of competitive golf since returning from a chronic back injury that kept him out for almost 16 months, shot a flawless seven-under 65 at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas on Friday.

Fourteen-times major winner Woods, who teed off alone after partner Justin Rose of Britain pulled out of the 18-man tournament with a bad back, was three-under on the front nine and four-under on the homeward stretch.

The former world number one, host of the unofficial PGA Tour event that has no cut, was within inches of an ace at the par-three 12th hole at the exclusive Albany course.
