LA JOLLA: Former world number one Tiger Woods fired a seven-under par 65 on Friday to surge through the field and take a two-stroke second-round lead at the $6.1 million PGA Farmers Insurance Open.

Playing on the Torrey Pines layout where he has won this event six times and where he captured the most recent of his 14 major titles at the US Open in 2008, Woods had an eagle, six birdies and just one bogey on the North Course.

Woods said his short game continues to improve, now that he has bedded-in the swing changes that have taken up a lot of practice time. “That’s something that I needed to work on, and as you saw toward the end of last season, it started coming around,” said Woods. “I haven’t had to hit as many golf balls, so I’ve been able to dedicate more time to (it) and consequently, it’s better.”
