Tiger Woods leads the Chevron World Challenge by three shots from KJ Choi and Matt Kuchar after the first two rounds.

Former world number one Tiger Woods has taken the halfway lead at the Chevron World Challenge in California.

The 14-time major champion hit two eagles and four birdies in a five-under round of 67 to lead going into the weekend at eight-under-par.

Overnight leader KJ Choi suffered a one-over 73, which included a quadruple bogey seven at the 15th and is now alongside Matt Kuchar in second, three behind Woods.

The American duo of Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan are a further shot adrift at four-under for the tournament.

If Woods triumphs on Sunday it will be his fifth success at the tournament.
