Duo shares Greenbrier lead, Woods in contention

White Sulphur Springs (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods made it safely to the weekend at the Greenbrier Classic, where Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas fired a five-under-par 65 to join Scott Langley atop the leaderboard.Vegas had five birdies with no bogeys for a nine-under-par halfway total of 131 on Friday. Langley, the overnight leader after a first-round 62, carded a one-under 69 to maintain a share of the lead.They were being chased by a tightly bunched field, with a group of seven players just one stroke back.Canadian David Hearn and American Bryce Molder carded 64s to join the group on 132, England's Greg Owen and Americans Chad Collins and Kevin Chappel posted second-round 67s and New Zealand's Danny Lee and American Jonathan Byrd both signed for 69s to complete the group at eight-under.Six more players were tied on 133, and 10 more were on 134.Former world number one Woods, coming off a dismal US Open showing at Chambers Bay, avoided missing back-to-back cuts for the first time in his pro career, firing a roller-coaster one-under 69 to head a group on 135 that also included two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson (68).Woods, who delivered a solid 66 in the first round, made his fourth birdie of the day at the final hole, rolling in a six-footer to get back to under par for the day.But he also had three bogeys -- all on the back nine at the Old White TPC course.After a birdie at the second, Woods reeled off eight straight pars before a bogey at the 11th.
