Orlando, FL …

For a second week running Tiger Woods has put himself in frame to end a near five-year winless drought with what would be an incredible ninth Arnold Palmer Invitational success.

Woods managed six birdies and a closing hole saving par in a round of a four-under par 68.

His only hiccup in now 67 rounds of the Bay Hill course was a double bogey at the 12th hole where Woods ball went out-of-bounds by a mere five inches.

But to pick out a highlight it would be the 71-foot putt Woods holed for birdie at the seventh hole or the 16th of his round.

Woods had done the same at the 71st hole of last week’s Valspar Championship in holing a 43-foot birdie putt to move to within one shot of England’s Paul Casey and the eventual champion at Innisbrook Resort.

And Woods was ask about the putt on the 17th last Sunday and then seen walking off the 7th green laughing this morning here at Bay Hill.

“As I did last week, as my dad always told me, just putt to the picture,” he said.

“And I was asking for it to bite as it came over that knob, it was a little too hot and it had to crash in the hole.”

The birdie at seven got Woods back to four-under par for his round and just when a few skeptics thought he might drop a shot at the last, Woods did not surprise in holing an 11-foot gem to save par.
