The Tiger rookie started Tuesday's round with a bogey and a double on the first three holes, but he was still able to battle back and finish with another even-par 72 score to hold onto his second-place spot.

Hole 12 requires a very accurate tee shot to avoid hazard on both sides of the fairway. No. 5 is a difficult par 5 that has water protecting the green and requires a tee shot to cut the corner of the dog leg.
