TIGER WOODS HAS the chance to secure a second successive victory, as he leads the way at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Following today’s action, Woods is level with Robert Rock on 11 under par.
Rory McIlroy, meanwhile, is joint third with Paul Lawrie, Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson.
McIlroy’s Northern Irish colleague, Graeme McDowell is on seven-under after a 68, and Gareth Maybin and Padraig Harrington are also performing relatively well, and are on six and four-under respectively. In addition, Michael Hoey shot a 69, which left him on one-under.
With 18 holes remaining, Woods could attain his second title in as many months, after he won the limited-field Chevron World Challenge last month, having previously gone over two years without winning a tournament.
