For the first time in nearly three years, Tiger Woods is in the lead after a round in a major championship.
It was once a familiar position for Woods, a place from which he almost always converted. He had a record of 8-1 when holding at least a share of a 36-hole lead at one of the four grand slam events.
Now he is back in that spot again, and the golf world awaits an interesting weekend at the Olympic Club, where Woods will attempt to win his fourth U.S. Open and 15th major championship.
"As far as being in this position, I like it," Woods said Friday. "I know it takes a bit out of us, but so be it. Much rather be there than missing cuts or just making the cut. So it's a wonderful place to be with a chance to win your nation's Open."
