Greensboro (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods
fired his lowest round in two years Thursday, launching his quest for a
place in the Fedex Cup play-offs with a sparkling six-under-par 64 at
the Wyndham Championship.
Woods, bidding to bounce back
from a disappointing missed cut at last week's PGA Championship, roared
back to form with seven birdies and a bogey at Greensboro's Sedgefield
Country Club.
The
performance was the former world number one's lowest on the PGA Tour
since a second-round, nine-under-par 61 at the 2013 World Golf
Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.
It
was also Woods best score in an opening round in three years, when he
carded a 64 on the opening day of the 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship.
The round left Woods two off the lead, behind William McGirt, Erik Compton and Tom Hoge, who all carded eight-under-par 62s.
Woods,
who is playing the Wyndham Championship for the first time, needs to
win this weekend to force his way into the post-season picture.
