Australian Geoff Ogilvy retained the lead at the halfway stage of the WGC-CA Championship, holding a charging Tiger Woods at bay - at least for now.

The former US Open champion added a 67 to his first round 65 to lead the World number one by a shot.

Woods, who has won his last seven tournaments, carded two eagles in a six-under-par 66 in a testing easterly breeze at Doral Resort's Blue Monster.

He finished in style with birdies at his final two holes, sinking a sharply-breaking 20-footer at the last to post an 11-under-par 133 halfway total.

Par fives

Woods chipped in from a greenside bunker at the 12th for an eagle three and after picking up a total of four shots on the four par fives, said that was the key to his round.

"The par fives are where you've got to score," he said.

"With today's wind, you could hit two (of them) with irons, so you've got to make sure you take care of those.

"Play those in three or four under and the rest of the round in one or two under and you're looking pretty good.

"On (number 12) I had a simple little bunker shot and kept telling myself to make sure I hit it hard enough. When it landed, I thought 'that looks pretty good' and about two feet out it was centre cut."

Woods has won this World Golf Championships event six times in eight attempts, on six different courses.

He has not lost in more than six months, winning five times on the US PGA Tour, the European Tour's Dubai Desert Classic and his own unofficial Target Challenge.

Tranquility

Ogilvy, meanwhile, played in relative tranquility, away from the crowds swarming around Woods.

The 2006 US Open champion was bogey-free, making two birdies on his outward half, before picking up three more to get to 12-under.

Australian Adam Scott is in third place on nine-under but will be rueing a bogey-bogey fiinish which cost him a share of the halfway lead.

Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez, who shared the first round lead with Ogilvy, dropped back after a 74.

The British challenge is struggling, with Luke Donald best placed on four-under 140.
