Immelman pushes ahead in second round

AUGUSTA, Ga. - Trevor Immelman gave Tiger Woods an impressive target and the world’s greatest player was nowhere to be found.

Showing that 4-under 68 in the opening round was no fluke, Immelman put up the same score Friday with birdies on the final two holes to break a logjam atop the leaderboard at Augusta National.

The South African was at 8-under 136 heading to the weekend and one stroke ahead of unheralded Brandt Snedeker, with two-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson right in the mix after a 68 of his own.

Woods was 1 over through 12 holes, a daunting nine strokes off the pace and perhaps facing the prospect of needing an unprecedent ed comeback.
