Leaderboard: After long delay, Tiger back at it in Zozo Championship

Dealing with a knee injury, Brooks Koepka was not on the commitment list for next week's WGC-HSBC Champions after withdrawing from a PGA Tour event in South Korea on Oct 18.

This week's Zozo Championship is the first official PGA Tour event in Japan, where golf's popularity has dipped in recent years.

Brandon Stone posted a third consecutive 66 to take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Portugal Masters.

Even he's surprised by how well he is playing through two rounds. But a long day awaits, which will be a big test for someone coming off a knee procedure and nine weeks off.

England's Oliver Fisher finished the second round of the Portugal Masters with a one-shot lead over Justin Walters and Jeunghun Wang on Friday.

South Koreans Somi Lee and Seung Yeon Lee were tied for the third-round lead Saturday at the Buick Ladies Championship, the second tournament on the LPGA's four-tournament Asian swing.

Tiger Woods maintained his hopes of a record-equalling 82nd PGA Tour title by moving into a two-shot lead at the halfway stage of the weather-affected Zozo Championship.
