Tiger roars with lowest round in two years at PGA Wyndham

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.
