Tiger Woods gained the lead for the first time ever in his own AT&T National golf tournament, hitting a four-under-par 66 in second round action to take the lead by a stroke. Rod Pampling shot a second round 64 to jump into second place.
Defending champion turned first round leader Anthony Kim did not find the going so favorable on day two, shooting an even 70 to fall two strokes behind Woods. The course played slightly harder on Friday after late Wednesday thunderstorms lowered scores for Thursday's first round play.
With Tiger Woods having won 31 out of 37 tournaments in which he led after two rounds, the remainder of the National field may find the final two rounds a problematic experience. With showers and thunderstorms forecast for Sunday, tournament organizers may find at least the fourth round just as problematic.
Tiger Woods and Rod Pampling will tee off for the third round at 1:50 p.m. Saturday, Anthony Kim & Jim Furyk at 1:40 p.m.
