McGrane followed up his first-round 68 with a 69 in testing conditions to earn his place in Saturday's final group alongside world number one Woods, who leads by one stroke on seven under after carding a 71.

"We all want to play alongside him (Woods) and see what we should be doing because he sets the mark at the moment," said McGrane.

"I have to make the most of what I have and play my own game and sink a few putts and hope the numbers add up.

"It's something that is going to be very different playing with someone of his stature, but he has his game and I have my game and I will be trying to do the best with what I have.

"I need to get some good finishes over the weekend. I tend to play three good rounds and then play one not so good, but if I keep knocking on the door my time has to come."
