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.

Matt Wallace makes a double bogey at the 11th and slips to +6, three shots over the projected cut line. The curse of the par-3 contest looks to have struck again.
It's been a bad day on the par-3's for Brooks Koepka as he bogies the sixth. Koepka drops to -4 and is two-over for the day.
Francesco Molinari (-4) birdies eight to move within two of the lead as Bryson DeChambeau makes a bogey on the seventh and drops down to -6.
Thorbjorn Olesen makes a birdie on the 13th hole to move back to -2.
Francesco Molinari is two under for the day thru 8 and has moved within two of the lead at -4.
Mickelson finds the trees with his tee shot on 8, Justin Thomas, 2-under for the day, hits his drive straight down the middle of the fairway.
Molinari (-5) finishes the front 9 with another birdie. He goes out in 33, which is 3-under par, and he moves to within one shot of the lead.
Mickelson is serious trouble on the eighth. His drive found the trees on the left of the fairway and his second shot finds the rough to the right of the fairway. A proper zig-zag hole for 'Lefty'
