Aussie world number seven Jason Day, who played with his boyhood hero Woods in front of packed galleries at the Lakes course for the first two rounds, was a further shot back in third on seven-under after a 68.

Singapore: Chiragh Kumar continued his fine run, carding a bogey-free three-under 68 on a rain-delayed day to be the best-placed Indian at tied 30th after the second round of the $6 million Barclays Singapore Open.

Chiragh dropped three birdies at the more difficult Rahil Gangjee and Jeev Milkha Singh, the two Indians in top-10 after the first round fell back, but Jeev still has seven holes to play and SSP Chowrasia, at two-under, has eight more holes to play.

James Morrison held the clubhouse lead at 12-under par after following up his opening 62 with a second round of 68.
