Tiger Woods improved in the second round of the Hero World Challenge, improving from his first round 73 with a 2-under 70 and now 1-over for 36 holes. He is 10 behind co-leaders Scheffler (69-68) and Jordan Spieth (68-67).
Scheffler, who has been on the ball literally this season, was 7-under for the day through 17 holes. Spieth, who had an adventurous first round 68, had a squeaky-clean bogey-free 67. Brian Harman, one of the first-round co-leaders, turned around his disastrous start of three bogeys in the first four holes with a blazing 5-under over the last five holes to get to 8-under.
Justin Thomas carded a 5-under 67 despite back-to-back bogeys on the 11th and 12th, and was 7-under and fourth. Tony Finau, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Collin Morikawa were tied at 6-under in tied fifth spot. Two-time defending champion Viktor Hovland continued to struggle to a second straight 73 and was tied 16th.
