McIlroy, the age of 21 years Ireland in North, maintained its advance from round opening with a balance and sometimes stirring three-under-by 69 which gives it a score of 36 holes of 10-under 134. He completed about 4: 30 p.m. and seemed by far the largest name among potential leaders to the mark at Midway.
But Woods hid six groups behind McIlroy, and with birdies on holes 10, 13, 14, 15, 18th, Woods carded a back-nine 31 and a score of second round of six - under 66. He had nine birdies on the whole.
The galleries of Masters, reserved and sometimes indifferent to Woods Thursday when he shot a 71 one-less, have been wildly cheering as he approached the 18th green.
When he made his last putt from 12 feet, Woods was just three shots behind McIlroy and third ex ?quo with k. j. Choi.
Second place at eight was less Jason Day, an Australian aged 23.
"I myself have played in the Championship," said Woods, who seemed in danger of not having the Cup while three bogies in the first seven holes. "There is a long way to go, but it feels good." I have been patient with some of the things that I worked on, and it's nice to see some results. And energy of the crowd is immense and infectious.
The leader board was filled with players 30 years or less, including Alvaro Quiros, 28, who was six sous and Ricky Barnes, 30, and Rickie Fowler, 22, five slots.
Woods, said the youth movement made him feel old, but he was looking forward to the competition.
"I try to put myself in the mix come Sunday," he said. "" "". But it is the next generation. It is good to see these guys out there playing with good enthusiasm and zest for the game. There is a whole crop of guys at this age. This generation is going to be fun to watch as they age. ?
Woods countered what has become a familiar model for him in its touring successfully to Augusta National - he birdied each 5 sec. In 64 rounds of game masters, Woods is now 124 sub on the 5 sec.
"My goal was now to be same by on the front and two as the nine back, said Woods."
Woods was an as the by after nine holes.
"When I came on the back nine, I got hot", he said, smiling. "I got to a point where I knew exactly where I wanted to hit the golf ball and pretty much did just that."
Woods birdied the 10th hole difficult by hitting a sand wedge to 10 feet and making the putt. 14, Its Launcher wedge stopped 18 inches from the hole for another birdie. 15, His second shot for the 5 on the Green, 35 feet from the hole, but he chipped on and converted the putt short birdie.
McIlroy, who had four birdies and a bogey, calmly handled the day of its second consecutive features of the leader. Playing with Fowler and Day, McIlroy has spent much of his time, smile and laugh with its partners. The Group was 15 strokes under the per round.
"We have fed off the coast of the other," McIlroy said. "You could say that the crowd was really behind us on the back nine." "And Jason was really low."
But McIlroy said he was not intimidated by the prospect of holding to its advance, even if Woods was lurking.
"I expect in this area and at some point I beat them before", he said.
Day shot a 64, matching Woods 31 on the back nine. And he said that he liked to be known in what was a popular pairing.
"I am also the oldest, which is a little bizarre, he said." I noticed these guys walk awfully fast. But I got some attention towards the end. Nothing that these two get. I told them on the first hole that I could have started to pay people shouting my name. Everyone was shouting them. ?
Day should he win, was to become the first Australian to win the masters Championship.
McIlroy will play the third round with day last Saturday, starting at 14 h 45 Choi is paired with Woods.
On a packed talent and youth leader board, there were also three other big winners in the running.

Fred Couples, who is 51 and was the 1992 masters field, was five slot after rounds of 71 and 68. Tied with Couples has y. e. Yang, who won the 2009 hepatitis Championship after a last lap duel with Woods.
