Tiger takes control at rainy Torrey Pines

SAN DIEGO — It was just like old times for Tiger Woods at a rain-sodden Torrey Pines Friday as the former world No. 1 surged into a two-shot lead in the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open.
Six-time champion Woods eagled the par-five 18th, his ninth hole of the day, en route to a seven-under-par 65 on the easier North Course, one of two layouts hosting the fourth PGA Tour event of the season.
Back at a venue where he has always felt extremely comfortable, the 37-year-old American took advantage of the four reachable par-fives as he also carded six birdies and a lone bogey to finish at 11-under 133.
“I played well today. I drove the ball great and took advantage of the par-fives,” Woods told reporters after covering the par-five holes in a combined five under. “That's basically where the round could be had.
“But it's tough out there,” he added after playing his final hole in a heavy downpour.
Little-known American Billy Horschel was alone in second after carding a 69 on the tougher South layout with compatriots Jimmy Walker (69) and double heart-transplant recipient Erik Compton (65) among a group of six bunched at eight under.
Britain's Ross Fisher, competing on the PGA Tour this year for the first time as a full member, briefly trailed Woods by just one shot at nine-under but bogeyed two of his last four holes for a 71 to finish four strokes off the pace.
“We've got a long way to go and this golf course is not going to get easier with this rain,” Woods said. “The rough is going to get sticky. It's a pretty tough course.”
The cut fell at one-under 141 with former major winners Angel Cabrera, Keegan Bradley, Yang Yong-eun and Stewart Cink among those missing out.
Phil Mickelson, a San Diego native who won the first of his three titles here 20 years ago, made the cut right on the number after bogeying his last two holes for a 71 on the South course.
“I've got some work to do on the weekend,” said the American left-hander — Reuters
