Tiger Woods thrilled Augusta National by leaping into contention in second round of the Masters, firmly putting himself in the hunt for a historic 15th major title and fifth green jacket.

The 43-year-old American superstar fired a dramatic four-under par 68 to share sixth place on six-under 138 through 36 holes, one stroke behind a record Masters lead logjam of five co-leaders -- all of them major winners -- on seven-under 137.

"It was fun," Woods said. "I felt like I left a few shots out there. It was a solid day. I tried to grind it out there."
"The last two major championships I've been right there," Woods said. "All of a sudden I'm here at the Masters."
"It is what it is," Woods said. "Accidents happen. We move on. I'm good."
