BACK IN BUSINESS: Tiger Woods completed a five-under-par 67 to move into joint lead with Nick Watney.

Shanghai: Back in form, Jyoti Randhawa remained in the hunt for a top-five finish, carding a sedate two-under 70 to lie tied eighth after the midway stage of the $7 million WGC-HSBC Champions golf tournament here on Friday.

Compatriots C. Muniyappa (69) rose to tied 37th at 143, two strokes ahead of Jeev Milkha Singh (72), who was tied 45th after the second round at Sheshan International Golf Club.

Gaganjeet Bhullar (150) was the lone Indian who could not improve his position and followed up his opening round 74 with 76 to slip to tied 70th.

World No. 1 Tiger Woods took his customary position atop the leaderboard, tying for the halfway lead with Nick Watney after shooting a second straight five-under 67.

The American endured a frustrating front nine but stormed home with four birdies to join overnight leader Watney (70) on 10-under 134.

Randhawa, a 10th tee starter, was even-par at the turn and he sunk three birdies, against one bogey, on his front nine to sign off with his second successive sub-par card.

It was a welcome return to form for the former Asia No. 1, who won the Singha Thailand Open earlier this year on the Asian Tour but failed to maintain his momentum.

Randhawa, however, felt there was still room for improvement. — PTI
