Your support makes all the difference.Major winners Francesco Molinari, Louis Oosthuizen, Brooks Koepka, Jason Day and Adam Scott shared top spot at the Masters on Friday at the end of the second round, but it was Tiger Woods who commanded the spotlight once again at Augusta National.
Woods brought the roars back to the famed venue with a brilliant four-under-par 68, putting himself on track for a fifth Green Jacket.
At six-under-par 138, the American is just one shot off the leaders heading into 'moving day'.
After an ordinary outward nine featuring three birdies offset by a pair of bogeys, Woods embarked on one of his trademark charges, carding three birdies after the turn to shoot up the leaderboard.

Adam Scott becomes the latest player to fail to birdie 11. He had a 6ft putt that held it's line just to the left of the hole and didn't turn like he was expecting. He's at -4.
Tiger Woods bogies the par-5 8th. He's back to -2 and level for the day but he's played both of the par-5's in one-over.
Rory's in the red
McIlroy makes an eagle on the 8th and moves to -1. There's plenty more holes for him to make his move.
Tiger Woods.
Bogey at 8, birdie at 9. He sinks a long 30/40ft putt up the hill on the ninth green before giving it the old fist pump. Woods goes out in 35, -1 for his round.
McIlroy is looking in good shape now. He spanks a drive straight down the middle on 10 and is in a decent position to attack the pin.
A quiet but productive day continues for Adam Scott as he makes birdie on 12. He's -2 for the day and moves to -5 for the tournament.
His day's getting better as he makes another birdie on 13. Louis Oosthuizen makes a birdie at 12 to move -5.
A share of the lead for Justin Harding, who has birdied 5 of his last 6 holes. He's got a putt for a par on the last to go in at -7.
