Tiger back in the hunt at his Quicken Loans tournament

PGA Tour Quicken Loans National leaderboard http://espn.go.com/golf/leaderboard?tour=pga

If you'd been on the moon for the past 2 years, and just got home to turn on your TV and watched Tiger playing and shooting 66 to get to -8, just 3 strokes off the lead, you'd wonder what all the fuss was about. Yesterday he looked just like the Tiger you'd seen before your trip into outer space !

He was hitting great irons, making putts, short and bombs, spraying the odd driver, and as a result he is T5, three shots behind Ryo Ishikawa, who birdied the last three holes for a 68 to reach -11, one shot ahead of Scottish Open champion, Rickie Fowler, who also birdied the last three for a 65, and Kevin Chappell, who shot 68.

Need I remind you, two years ago, Tiger was world #1. He has had back surgery and changed his coaches, changed his swing and seemingly changed his ability to play golf. He is now an unbelievable 266th amongst his peers.

The cut fell at -2 and here's a feel good story. Billy Hurley (70) made the cut and after the round, he found out that his father, Willard Hurley Jr., had been located in Texas after disappearing for nearly two weeks.

Canadian scores:  Adam Hadwin 67, 70 and Nick Taylor, 68 69 -5 both are T19.
