Tiger equals best comeback score, hunts National title

Tiger Woods roared into contention for his first victory since 2013, matching the best round of his injury comeback with a five-under par 65 Friday at the US PGA Quicken Loans National.

A spectacular chip-in and four putts beyond 15 feet were among his seven birdies, the 14-time major winner sharing 11th on five-under 135 after 36 holes at TPC Potomac, only four strokes behind US co-leaders Brian Gay, Beau Hossler and Ryan Armour.

"I'm not that far from putting it together where I can win," Woods said. "The scores aren't going to be that low. The course is getting a little bit more difficult."
"And it's going to be a tough weekend. It's going to be hot. It's going to be long grinds."
"You've got to be patient on this course," Woods said. "There are not a lot of low scores out there."
"It's a good feeling for me. It felt good today. I started on my line with the right pace and a lot of them fell."
"I thought something in the mid-60s would have been a good score and I was able to shoot that."

"It was pretty sweet because I was trying to hit a high cut spinner in there and it worked out perfectly."
