WINDERMERE, Florida — The guy in a red shirt put on quite a show Friday in the Hero World Challenge to get into contention. That was Patrick Reed — and Tiger Woods watched it all. Reed, playing alongside Woods at Isleworth, was 8-under through 10 holes and wound up with a 9-under 63 in the second round, which was delayed 90 minutes by heavy rain. Jordan Spieth elected not to finish his round in darkness, mainly because he had a tough chip short of the 18th green and couldn't see the flag from 30 feet away. Spieth was at 11-under, two shots ahead of Henrik Stenson, who had a 68. Reed was another shot back, along with Justin Rose. He became the third player this year to shoot a 63 while playing with Woods. “I never played with Tiger before, besides a practice round at the British,” Reed said. “It was good to finally be able to play with him, especially in competition. It was a lot of fun. We had a good time. I felt like we enjoyed ourselves out there, and luckily I played well.” Woods was better that his opening 77, except for a sour ending because of another flubbed chip. Woods was making progress toward his goal of getting back to even par for the tournament. He hit a 5-iron out of the rough to 4 feet for eagle on the par-5 13th, followed with a flip wedge into 3 feet for birdie on the 14th, and he hit another wedge to 5 feet for birdie on the 16th. But after the rain, Woods had mud on his ball in the fairway and could only smile as it sailed left and long of the green. What followed was another bad chip — that's six already in two rounds — that traveled only about 10 feet. He wound up with a double bogey for a 70. He remained in last place, 14 shots behind Spieth. “It's not very good,” Woods said of his short game. Rory McIlroy shot a 63 with Woods in the opening round at Dubai this year (Woods shot 68). Spieth played with Woods at Torrey Pines and shot 63 on the North Course (Woods shot a 71). Harrington storms clear Ireland's Padraig Harrington put himself in a strong position to end his four-year victory drought by opening up a five-shot lead with 23 holes of the Indonesia Open remaining after Saturday's third round was cut short by poor weather. The triple major champion has not won a full field tournament since lifting the 2010 Johor Open title on the Asian Tour but another four birdies over his 13 holes on the outskirts of Jakarta left him set to end that drought. His 16-under-total was five better than nearest challenger, Australian Nathan Holman, with joint overnight leader Thanyakon Khrongpha a further shot back after struggling with his driver at the $750,000 Asian Tour event. Harrington, one of 46 players returning at 0640 local time to complete their third rounds, did win the 2012 PGA Grand Slam of Golf after stepping in for Rory McIlroy in the four-man event for the year's major winners. Holman was one-under for his 13 holes and needs a strong showing on Sunday to help retain his Tour card for next year as he sits 95th on the order of merit with only the top 60 guaranteed playing rights next season. Home hope George Gandranata was sitting in fourth on eight-under after he picked up three shots over his 16 holes Saturday. Donald leads by one Luke Donald shot a 3-under 69 Saturday to maintain a one-shot lead after the third round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge. Donald is part of an English top three at Sun City, with compatriots Danny Willett and Ross Fisher also in contention at the European Tour's 2015 season-opener. Donald moved to 13-under 203 overall. Willett surged into second after carding eight birdies and just one bogey for a 65 to move one shot off the lead. Fisher, the first-round leader, is third at 10 under after a 70. Donald didn't match his blistering 63 on Friday, but still is in position for his first title since late 2013 and his first on the European Tour for more than two years. — Agencies
