Tiger Woods score: Round 2 recap, highlights from Quicken Loans National image

Tiger Woods started strong and kept the momentum rolling throughout his Round 2 at the Quicken Loans National.

Woods finished his first round at an even 70 after an up and down day. Friday was a much different result as he wound up recording seven birdies to help put him at a 5-under 65 and propel him up the leaderboard to tie for 10th place.

He started the day on the back nine with two birdies in his first three holes and rounded it out with two more on 15 and 18. Moving to the front nine — where he had some issues on Thursday — Woods got into a groove that included two straight birdies on Holes 2 and 3 and another on 5. 

Overall, Woods suffered just two bogeys in Round 2 and set himself up nicely for the weekend ahead. With his 5-under score, he's currently just four strokes back of leader Beau Hossler at 9-under.

The Quicken Loans National was created with the help of Woods in 2007 and has been hosted by the Tiger Woods Foundation every year since. Woods won the tournament in 2009 and 2012. This will be his first appearance back at the tournament since 2015, when he tied for 18th.
