After getting Friday off because of Typhoon Bualoi, Tiger Woods returned to Narashino Country Club on Saturday for the second round of the Zozo Championship and posted his second straight 6-under 64 to take the solo lead at 12 under.
Sharing the lead at 6 under with Gary Woodland after Thursday’s opening round, Woods kicked off Round 2 with a birdie at the par-4 first hole.
One hole played.

Woods carded a 1-under 33 on the front before beginning the back nine with back-to-back birdies, at the shortened par-4 10th (just 140 yards because of standing water) and par-4 11th.
