NORTON, Massachusetts, Sept 1<\/span> (Reuters) – Rory McIlroy fired
\na second consecutive six-under 65 to take a one-shot lead after
\nthe second round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Saturday
\nbut Tiger Woods was lurking just two shots back.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The world number one set the pace in the morning wave with
\nan impressive round consisting of six birdies, an eagle and two
\nbogeys to lead by one over former British Open champion Louis
\nOosthuizen.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

South African Oosthuizen matched McIlroy’s 65 to move to
\n11-under 131 at the FedEx Cup playoff event while Woods and
\nfellow American Ryan Moore shared third at 10-under 132.<\/p>\n

“I’m very pleased with how I played today, how I played
\nyesterday as well, and I’m in a great position,” McIlroy said.
\n“I got off to a nice start and just kept the momentum going.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everything seemed to work pretty well out there. I felt
\nlike I drove the ball a bit better today and hit more fairways,
\nwhich gave me some more opportunities to make birdies, and I was
\nputting well enough to take a few of those.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

McIlroy finished nine shots behind Barclays Classic winner
\nNick Watney in week one of the playoffs in his first appearance
\nafter claiming the PGA Championship.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was unperturbed, however, suggesting the
\ngreens in New York were not entirely up to scratch and he just
\nneeded to shake a little rust off his putter.
