(UTV|COLOMBO) – Tiger Woods feels his game keeps “getting a little bit better” after moving into contention at the halfway stage of the Valspar Championship.
The 42-year-old, who had back surgery last year, is two shots off the lead, while Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy missed the cut in Florida.
Woods’ second round of 68 moved him to a tie for second, four under overall.
“I’m getting a feel for it, finding the rhythm of rounds and not having a problem posting scores,” said Woods.
“I’ve got a chance going into the weekend,” added the 14-time major winner, who has not won a tournament since 2013.
“I keep getting a little bit better here and there, making these subtle tweaks. I needed a little bit more tournament time in and I’ve done that.”
Woods shot a three-under 68 to go with his opening 70 and trails Canada’s Corey Conners – who has never won on the PGA Tour – by two shots, with England’s Paul Casey and Americans Brandt Snedeker, Kelly Kraft and Ryan Palmer all also on four under.
