Woods shoots 68, makes cut at PGA National

Still plenty of golf left ?a 36 holes," McIlroy said after a 67 inside breezy, balmy afternoon. "I should just carry on doing the identical things, make an effort to drive the ball inside the fairway and provide myself plenty of opportunities, and attempt and take a few. Since you don't have to make a lot of birdies out here."

Perhaps not, but that has been the recipe for Brian Harman, who shattered the course record by three shots and even flirted with golf's magic number before he'd to stay for par for the 543-yard closing hole to get a 61.

Birdies also helped Ernie els, though insufficient to offset the letter shot to the water about the par-3 fifth to get a double bogey in their round of Mizuno MP-59 Irons 68 that put him seven shots out from the lead.

Rose made five birdies inside a nine-hole stretch in the center of his round and was at 10 under until back-to-back bogeys, among how this program can stop momentum quickly. He finished up at 8-under 132 with Gillis, a 43-year-old journeyman who were built with a 64 which is atop the leaderboard the first time after any round of an PGA Tour event.

"You can't play 36 holes around here and expect to leave without the bruises in any way," Rose said.

McIlroy, who would must win the Honda Classic to change Luke Donald atop the world ranking, was at 7 under along with Dicky Pride, who birdied his last hole for the 67.

Harman, Jimmy Walker (67) and Monday qualifier Titleist 910 D3 Driver  Vaughn Taylor (66) were another shot back.

The cut was at 141, the cheapest since the Honda Classic transferred to PGA National five years ago.

Proof the low scoring came from Harman, the rookie from Georgia who never imagined waiting in the 18th fairway having a possiblity to shoot 59 with an eagle on the par 5. He gave it his best shot, leaving a hybrid in the front bunker to try to have a very reasonable putt. Harman wound up missing a 5-footer coupled with to settle for par, though his 61 still broke the course record by three shots.

"Just one particular crazy days where everything all fits in place," Harman said. "Got away and off to a really hot start and just kept the pedal down all day. It had been awesome."

For Woods, it had been dependent on showing up in the gas and slamming around the brakes.

Woods stuffed a technique inside 3 feet for birdie, then had to scramble for bogey. He bounced a tee shot off a spectator and turned that into discount golf clubs birdie, and then hit his next tee shot in the water for double bogey. He closed with two birdies.
