No. 17 (par 3, 190 yards):
Woods is slightly long on another par 3, forced to chip from rough but gets up and down for par. He goes through the Bear Trap 1-under. (Total: Even par; Round 2: 1 under through 8)
No. 16 (par 4, 434 yards):
Woods finally wakes his putter holing a 25-footer for birdie. He hit the fairway with an iron. (Total: Even par; Round 2: 1 under through 7)
No. 15 (par 3, 179 yards):
The 15th flummoxed Woods again. For the second straight day, he hit his tee shot over the green. This time he got a free drop from the foot of a TV tower. While he chipped poorly from here Thursday to make bogey, he hit a wonderful short flop today to save par. One third of the Bear Trap is complete. Westwood made birdie here to go two up on Woods for the tourney. (Total: 1 over; Round 2: Even through 6)
No. 14 (par 4, 465 yards):
Woods made a mess of the 14th, missing his first fairway of the day nearly pushing his drive right in the bunker. He blasted out 15 yards short of the green and hit his worst shot of the tournament, a dreadful pitch that came up short of the green. He failed to chip in from there and made his first bogey. The chipping/pitching has been suspect for two days, the ball striking not bad at all. (Total: 1 over; Round 2: Even through 5)
No. 13 (par 4, 388 yards):
With his best shot of the day, Woods sticks his approach to a foot and makes an easy first birdie. He hit the fairway with a 3-wood and is 4-for-4 hitting fairways. Woods goes to 1 under for the day. He and Westwood are both even for the tournament. (Total: Even par; Round 2: 1 under through 4)
No. 12 (par 4, 427 yards):
Woods decided to hit 3-wood after hitting driver Thursday. He hits his third fairway in a row, then stuffs his approach about 15 feet. The putter is still cool. He two-putts for par. Westwood hit driver here, pounding it 30 yards past Woods into the fairway, but he makes par, too. Woods is still even for the day, Westwood, too. (Total: 1 over; Round 2: Even through 3)
No. 11 (par 4, 479 yards):
With a 2-iron off the tee, Woods hits another fairway. He hit 10 on Thursday and is 2-for-2 today. Woods pulls another approach left but holds the green. He two-putts from 35 feet for par. (Total: 1 over; Round 2: Even through 2)
No. 10 (par 4, 525 yards):
Woods' driver at the opening 10th was a pretty bomb deep in the fairway, but he couldn't duplicate Thursday's birdie here. After pulling his approach onto the fringe, Woods two putts for par. His 50-foot birdie attempt stopped a half roll short in the heavy morning dew. (Total: 1 over; Round 2: Even through 1)
