Graeme McDowell signed for a 5-under 67 on day two of the Northwestern Mutrual World Challenge on Friday to remain somewhat in contention after his playing partner blitzed the course in 62 strokes.
Like Woods, McDowell made it around Sherwood without dropping a shot, adding back-to-back birdies at both Nos. 5-6 and Nos. 10-11 fourth place. Though that still shots off the pace set by Woods.
Woods had a birdie putt on every hole and made 10 of them Friday to tie his own course record at Sherwood and take a three-shot lead in the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge.
Woods had a 10-under 62, matching the score he shot in the second round at Sherwood six years ago. That gave him a two-shot lead over Zach Johnson, who birdied the last hole for a 68. Matt Kuchar also had a 68 and was another shot behind.
McDowell played with Woods and called it a clinic.
Woods missed only one fairway and hit every green. Woods said it was similar to the 61 he had at Firestone this year when he won the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational by seven shots.
Woods already is a five-time winner at Sherwood.
Rory Mcllroy went around in 77 strokes with a double 6 and triple bogey 9 on the 16th hole the major problems.
