Tiger ’s title bid suffers as Glover takes command
MIAMI, March 18: Tiger Woods’ bid for a record fifth Bay Hill Invitational title stalled with a second round one-under 71 that left him seven shots off the lead on Friday. Lucas Glover moved to the top of the leaderboard one shot clear of Australians Robert Allenby and Rod Pampling at the halfway stage on 10-under 134.
Woods, with three wins in his first five tournaments this year, began the day four strokes adrift of joint leaders Bart Bryant and Dean Wilson and looked poised to make a charge when he eagled the par five sixth.
But the world number one never settled into his rhythm on a breezy afternoon at the Bay Hill course, offsetting his eagle and a birdie with two bogeys to leave him with a two day total of three-under 141.
Glover, who notched his first career PGA Tour victory at nearby Disney World last season, returned a five-under 67 for the second consecutive day.
