Tiger Woods rolls back the years with stunning shot in the second round at World Golf Championships

Tiger Woods has rolled back the years with a stunning shot out of a bunker at the World Golf Championships in Mexico.

Woods, who is six shots off leader Dustin Johnson, curled the ball out of the sand on the fairway at the 18th hole and onto the green – just past the hole. 

It was arguably the shot of the day and Woods went onto birdie the hole to finish the second round with 66.

Woods’ compatriot Johnson will take a two-shot lead over Rory McIlroy into the third round of the WGC Mexico Championship.

McIlroy, who has won just one PGA Tour title since 2016, topped the leaderboard after an opening-round 63 but could only follow that up with a 70.

The Northern Irishman made a storming start to his second round, birdieing three of the first four holes, but was back to level for the day after a double bogey at the ninth and only managed one birdie on the back nine.

Johnson was the man to take advantage with a round of 67, posting four birdies and not dropping a shot as he moved to 11 under par.

McIlroy was joined on nine under by Matt Kuchar, who is letting his golf do the talking after last week’s caddie controversy and birdied the first four holes in a round of 67.
