2010 Barclays, Second Round: Tiger Woods Implodes On Back Nine, John Senden Is New Leader

Well, perhaps it was a bit premature to anoint Tiger Woods as being “back”. After pacing the field with a 6-under 65 on Thursday (along with Vaughn Taylor), and claiming sole possession of the lead halfway through his round on Friday, Woods collapsed on the back nine to fall five shots behind current leader John Senden.

Woods came through the turn 2-under on the day and 8-under overall, a shot ahead of journeyman Kevin Streelman, who catapulted up the leaderboard after a 8-under 63 on Friday. But Woods imploded on his back nine, bogeying the second, fifth, sixth and ninth holes, en route to a 2-over 73 that dropped him into a tie for fifteenth place (Woods began his day teeing off from the tenth hole).

Little-known journeyman Kevin Streelman has vaulted near the top of the 2010 Barclays leaderboard after a scintillating 8-under 63 brought him just a stroke behind the slightly better known Tiger Woods.

Woods continues to lead the Barclays, at 8-under overall for the tournament. Woods is 2-under on the day through nine holes, with the relatively easier front half of the course still left.
