WHO'S HOT

Padraig Harrington

The Irishman bounced back nicely from his opening 77 with 4-under-par 68, the low round of the Masters Tournament.

He birdied the first three holes before making double bogey on the par-4 7th. He then birdied Nos. 8, 11, 15 and 18 to offset his other blemish, a bogey at the 10th.

Putting was the difference, he said.

"I holed those 15-footers and, you know, I was feeling very comfortable on the greens and making putts," Harrington said.

WHO'S NOT

David Toms

Toms started the day one shot out of the lead, but his 6-over 78 on Friday left him in the middle of the pack.

The 2001 PGA Championship winner bogeyed the first hole and the ninth; then it got worse. He bogeyed the 11th, took a double bogey at the 12th, and added bogeys on the 15th and 16th. A birdie on the 17th was his lone bright spot.

"I ended up in good spots a lot of times," said Toms, who halted a three-year streak of missing the cut. "I didn't feel as comfortable."

WILD CARD

Tiger Woods

When's the last time Woods made four birdies and still finished the round over par?

Friday was that kind of day for the four-time Masters winner, who birdied Nos. 8, 10, 15 and 17 to shoot 74.

At Amen Corner, he bogeyed the 11th, made a spectacular bogey at No. 12 after hitting his tee shot in the water and saved par on the 13th after finding the tributary of Rae's Creek in front of the green.

"I had a two-way miss going pretty much all day," Woods said. "I could hit it left or right."
