Sports in Brief: Woods takes lead in Sherman Oaks

Tiger Woods didn't like the way he warmed up on the range. What he produced on the golf course Friday left him with no complaints.

Woods had a birdie putt on every hole and made 10 of them for a 10-under 62, tying his course record at Sherwood Country Club and giving the tournament host a 2-shot lead over Zach Johnson going into the weekend at the World Challenge. "It was good today," Woods said with a broad smile.

"It was a clinic," said Graeme McDowell, the defending champion who played alongside Woods in the second round and had a 67.

Woods was at 11-under 133 and will be paired in the last group Saturday with Johnson, who missed a few good birdie chances on the back nine but still managed a 68. Johnson is a two-time runner-up at the World Challenge, both times to Woods.

LACROSSE The Wings signed defender Brett Manney and rookies Garret Thul and Michael Diehl to one-year contracts. The Wings have also come to terms with Ryan Ward on a two-year agreement.

COLLEGE HOCKEY Shayne Morrissey had two goals to lift Neumann to a 6-5 overtime win over Salve Regina University in Aston.

SKIING Lindsey Vonn made her return to racing, posting a 40th-place finish in a World Cup downhill in Lake Louise, Alberta.
