Tiger Woods tees off on the seventh during the second round of the AT&T National golf tournament at Congressional Country Club on Friday.
Woods was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the previous 36-hole record set last year by Tom Pernice Jr. and Jeff Overton. Woods had a one-shot lead over Rod Pampling, who had a 64 to boost his chances of qualifying for the British Open.
Defending champion Anthony Kim couldn't build on his course-record 62 from the opening round. He played in the afternoon, after Woods set the target, and caught him briefly before settling for a 70 that put him two behind.
Jim Furyk (67) was alone in fourth at 7 under.
Perhaps more daunting than Woods' record 36-hole score is his record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead.
He is 31-6, having won the last 11 times from that spot dating to 2004 at the Byron Nelson Championship.
LPGA TourSYLVANIA, Ohio - Laura Diaz made a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 4-under 67 and a share of the second-round lead with Sarah Kemp in the LPGA Tour's Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.
Kemp shot a 63 to match Diaz at 11-under 131. Morgan Pressel (68) was a shot back, and Natalie Gulbis (65), Seon Hwa Lee (63) and Jiyai Shin (67) followed at 9 under.
Michelle Wie, seeking her first professional victory, three-putted the final hole for a double bogey and a 69, leaving her three strokes behind along with Suzann Pettersen (69), Lindsey Wright (68), Kyeong Bae (64) and Eunjung Yi (66).
European PGA TourSAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France - Argentina's Rafa Echenique shot a 4-under 67 to take a two-stroke lead in the French Open.
Echenique, coming off a second-place finish last week in the BMW International Open in Munich, had a 10-under 132 total on Le Golf National's Albatross Course.
Germany's Martin Kaymer (72), South Africa's Charl Schwartzel (66) and England's Steve Webster (65) were 8 under. Masters winner Angel Cabrera (75-70) and three-time major champion Padraig Harrington (72-75) missed the cut.
