Tiger Woods claims share of lead at Wyndham

 (Associated Press)

Tiger Woods signed up for his first Wyndham Championship knowing a win would definitively keep his season from ending. He’s halfway there. Woods shot a 5-under 65 in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Friday to share the second-round lead with rookie Tom Hoge. “I’m only at the halfway point,” Woods said. “Only 36 holes. We’ve still got a long way to go.” Woods and Hoge were at 11-under 129. Hoge shot a 67. Woods put himself in prime position to contend for his first victory in more than two years, one that would send him into the FedEx Cup playoffs. Woods followed his best round since 2013 – a first-day 64 – with one almost as good. He made his move on the back nine, with birdies on Nos. 12 and 13 and an eagle on the par-5 15th.
