Tiger Woods didn't have his best in Friday's second round of The Greenbrier Classic on the Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs, W.V.
However, that meant shooting 69 instead of 79.
In another sign of progress this week, Woods wasn't completely derailed by frustrating play that was a staple in all but one of his previous six starts this year. Under cloudy skies and in intermittent rain, Woods didn't battle his swing most of the day but did struggle with distance control and accuracy into the greens with his approach shots.
While his tempo, rhythm and body language has looked better this week than at any time this year, Woods needed 32 putts and had to overcome one stubbed chip shot, one drive that landed out of bounds but bounced back into play and another drive into a water hazard on his back nine.
