 | SECOND ROUND LEADERBOARD -15 V Singh (Fij) -13 M Weir (Can) -12 E Els (SA) -11 J Kaye (US), S Garcia (Sp) |
Vijay Singh leads the Mercedes Championships by two strokes after the second round as he continued his excellent start to the year on Friday. The world number one shot an eight under 65 to lead by two from Canada's Mike Weir, who blazed his way to a 63.
Ernie Els carded a 65 to move into third place on 12 under with Tiger Woods two strokes further back after a second 68.
"I'm playing well, I didn't make too many mistakes," said Singh.
"The putts kind of dried up on the back nine but I had my share on the front nine.
"I just started well and kept it going, I didn't feel any pressure at all. I'm playing well and I'm putting well."
Woods looks to be getting back to his best with his drives but was frustrated with his putting.
"I'm going home," he joked. "I had my chances to post a good solid round and I didn't do it.
"I've just got to somehow figure out how to get the ball in the hole. We've never putted them this slow before."
