Tiger Woods continued his domination of the WGC Championship at The Grove with a seven-under-par 64 in round two.

The world number one, 30, fired his second successive eagle at the 18th hole and also carded five birdies in his round at the Hertfordshire course.

Woods holds a five-stroke lead over fellow Ryder Cup representatives David Howell, Stewart Cink and Jim Furyk.

Padraig Harrington, who also featured at the K Club in Ireland last weekend, is a shot further back on nine under.

Brett Quigley matched fellow American Woods for the best round on Friday with his 64 moving him up to eight under.

Woods, who started at the 10th, bagged just one birdie in his first eight holes.

But then he hit a 249-yard second shot to 10 feet at the 18th, rolled in the putt and was simply unstoppable after that.

"I played better today without a doubt," said Woods. "I hit the ball more clean, more crisp and controlled my flight better."

Howell, who is on course to regain top spot on the Euopean Order of Merit from the struggling Paul Casey, shot a 66.

Cink had an eagle at the 18th in his 67 while Furyk shot 65. Harrington's round was spoiled by a closing bogey as he ended up carding a 69.
