Baddeley, Beem and Weir each are at nine-under-par 133 after two rounds of the FedEx Cup event and they share a one-shot lead. Mickelson is in a group of four players at eight-under 134 and Woods is tied for 13th at six-under 136.

Baddeley, who played with Woods in the final group on Sunday at the US Open, carded a 66 at TPC Boston. Beem also shot 66 and Weir signed for a 68 but it was Woods and Mickelson who turned in the rounds of the day.

Playing together, along with Vijay Singh, Woods and Mickelson got off to slow starts on Friday but were at the top of their games in the second round and each signed for a seven-under 64.

The defending champion Woods got hot on his final nine. He double-bogeyed the par-four fourth on Thursday but made up for it with an eagle on Saturday.

He drove the green and dropped a 33-foot putt. He had birdied the two holes prior to that and added two more at numbers six and seven to cap a stellar round.

"I knew that three or four-under-par would put me right back in the tournament. Now I'm back in the tournament," Woods said. "We'll see what the weather is (on Sunday) and find my score and hopefully go shoot it."

Mickelson had his own hot stretch in the middle of the round when he played eight holes in seven-under. He birdied 15 and 16 and finished his front nine with an eagle at 18.

He maintained his momentum on the inward half, birdying numbers one, two and four before closing a bogey-free round with a string of five pars.

"It was a lot of fun. I think this is what we were hoping for and kind of expecting on Friday," Mickelson said. "It was actually, I thought, a little more challenging day with the cooler air and the breeze, but the greens were so perfect that you felt you could make a lot of putts."
