Greensboro (United States) (AFP) - Tiger Woods fired his lowest opening round in three years Thursday after 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 opening round was the former world number one's lowest on the PGA Tour since a 64 in the first round of the 2012 Deutsche Bank Championship.
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.
