Tiger Woods leads the field by two shots at the halfway stage of the WGC CA Championship in Miami

The world number one fired a six-under-par round of 66 on Friday to leave him on -7, with Australia's Rod Pampling his closest challenger (-5).
Asked about his round, Woods said: "I hit the ball well and made a few putts. I'm just happy to be up there. It's been a while."
Thomas Bjorn, Henrik Stenson, Aaron Baddeley, Zach Johnson, Charles Howell III, Ernie Els and Trevor Immelman are three shots off the leader on -4.

European duo Sergio Garcia and Ian Poulter are among five players on -3, while world number seven Vijay Singh, looking for a third title this year, is on -2.

It's been a tournament to forget though for Phil Mickelson and Colin Montgomerie, who are +5 and +4 respectively after their opening two rounds.

It's no surprise to see Woods as a strong 1.67 favourite in Betfair's win market, with Els trading at 14.5 and Stenson available to back at 23.

Punters who don't think Woods can be beaten can take advantage of Betfair's 'Win without Woods' market.

Els can be backed at 6, Stenson is next best at 6.6, while Baddeley is trading at 9 with Garcia and Immelman both currently 12.5.
