Tiger Woods is back on the charge as if it's 2007 all over again.

Woods scorched around the Albany course in just 65 shots (seven under par) to move into the top 10 at the Hero World Challenge. Having hinted that he was entering the tournament - his first after a long-term back injury had sidelined him - in decent form, Woods carded a +1 round on the opening day. Today was different. He played like a dream on the front nine and was making his iron sing. Hero World Challenge - Round Two Woods came very close to chipping in for an eagle on the 14th and finished birdie, par to get with six shots of leader J.B Holmes. Naturally enough, the reaction to Woods on the prowl was a heady mix of champagne popping, bad jokes and undiluted excitement. https://twitter.com/PGATOUR/status/804763794089984001 https://twitter.com/ShooterMcGavin_/status/804761547969007616
