Tiger Woods kept his tournament - and his season - alive with a second-round 65 in the Deutsche Bank Championship.
After his first-round 72, Woods found himself near the bottom of the scoreboard. His 65 vaulted him well up the ranks, inside the Top 30 at the time he completed his morning round. He's not challenging the leaders, but he's well above the projected cutline.
Woods needs to finish somewhere around 57th or higher this week to earn enough FedEx Cup points to advance to next week's BMW Championship. So missing the cut wouldn't just have ended his tournament, but his season. That's not a danger after the 65.
Defending Deutsche Bank champion Phil Mickelson also had a great second round and, before the afternoon groups tee off, was threatening to crack the Top 10.
