Tiger Woods Takes 2-Shot Lead After Round 2 at ZOZO Championship 2019

Tiger Woods shot a superb second-round 64 to take the lead at the 2019 ZOZO Championship in Chiba, Japan, on Saturday.

Rain had washed out Friday's action, but the 15-time major winner was unperturbed, carding seven birdies at the Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club to move to 12 under par for the championship, two shots ahead of Gary Woodland in second place.

His short game was in excellent shape and helped with numerous crucial par saves which built momentum to a grandstand birdie-birdie finish.

The rain delay means the tournament will finish on Monday, but Sunday will be crucial for Woods as he aims to match Sam Snead on 82 PGA Tour wins.
