BETHESDA, Md. — Tiger Woods lived up to his hopes of being a “greedy host” Friday when he salvaged his round during a shaky stretch and shot 4-under 66 to take a one-shot lead at his AT&T National with the lowest 36-hole ever at Congressional.
Woods was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the previous 36-hole record set last year by Tom Pernice Jr. and Jeff Overton. Woods had a one-shot lead over Rod Pampling, who had a 64 to boost his chances of qualifying for the British Open.
Defending champion Anthony Kim couldn’t build on his course-record 62 from the opening round. He played in the afternoon, after Woods set the target, and caught him briefly before settling for a 70 that put him two behind.
Jim Furyk (67) was alone in fourth at 7 under.
Perhaps more daunting than Woods’ record 36-hole score is his record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead. He is 31-6, having won the last 11 times from that spot dating to 2004 at the Byron Nelson Championship.
