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.

Kisner and Aphibarnrat complete the first without scare as they both make par to stay at 3-under.
A few of the players found a couple of the pins a little tricky yesterday, here's a look at where they sit for today's round.
Bernhard Langer misses a 16ft putt for a birdie on the second and settles for a par.
Olesen makes a three on the third hole to move to -2.
Poulter's 2nd shot finishes to the left of the green and he's got some work to do to get up and down to save his par at the first.
Kuchar leaves himself with a tough but get-able putt to save par.
Poulter's chip onto the green finishes close to Johnson's ball which is quite a way from the hole. He'll have a long putt for par.
Zach Johnson leaves his birdie putt an inch away from the hole but he's given Poulter a look at the line of the putt.
Par, par, par
Kizzire makes par on 7, Olesen makes par on 4 and Langer makes par on 3. They all stay at -2.
Poulter misses his par putt on the first as it moves from right-to-left and falls under the hole. He makes bogey and moves back to -3.
