Tiger moves into the lead at Congressional

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) -- Tiger Woods finished signing for the lowest 36-hole score ever at Congressional Country Club and was met by a couple of AT&T National officials wanting to know his plans for the afternoon.

``I'm done,'' Woods said, indicating that he would not be going to the practice range.

The question is whether the 75 other players remaining at Congressional feel the same way.

Woods took a share of the lead with a 3-iron into the par-5 16th green for a two-putt birdie, kept his momentum by playing his five worst holes in 1 under, then finished off a 4-under 66 to build a one-shot lead going into the weekend.

He was at 10-under 130, breaking by one shot the 36-hole score set last year by Tom Pernice Jr. and Jeff Overton. And while he had only a one-shot lead over Rod Pampling (64) halfway through his tournament, history is on his side.

Woods has a 31-6 record on the PGA Tour when he has at least a share of the 36-hole lead, winning the last 11 times dating to the Byron Nelson Championship more than five years ago.

Pampling has been around Woods enough not to lose sleep over this. The scrappy Australian has played numerous practice rounds at dawn in the majors with Woods, so nothing surprises him.

``He can be playing great and then you really don't have a lot of chance of beating him,'' Pampling said. ``And then he's just playing so-so and he's still right there with a chance to win coming down the last nine holes. He's just amazing how consistent he is.''

On the other end of the spectrum was Anthony Kim.
