(Reuters) - Long-hitting American Gary Woodland, benefiting from a timely tune-up with his swing coach in Las Vegas last week, charged into a one-shot lead after the second round of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in Mexico on Friday.
Woodland, showing improved form with his putter in near-perfect scoring conditions at El Camaleon Golf Club in the resort of Playa del Carmen, fired a flawless six-under-par 65 to post a 13-under total of 129.
Former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson was alone in second after firing a matching 65, with fellow American Scott Piercy a further stroke adrift at 11-under after carding a 66.
