Tiger Woods edged closer to snapping a five-year winless drought as the 14-time major winner maintained a share of the lead at the halfway stage of the Tour Championship.
Woods birdied the final hole en route to a 68 to tie Justin Rose (67) at seven-under par 133 in heatwave conditions at the East Lake golf course in Atlanta.
Rory McIlroy, winner two years ago of both the FedEx Cup and Tour Championship, remains in the hunt in sole possession of third after shooting a 68.
"The best way to describe today is I ground out a round," said Woods, a former two-time winner of the season-ending tournament.
"I wasn't quite as sharp as I was yesterday, but I hung in there and tried to miss the ball on the correct sides so I had angles.
"For the most part, I did that."
