Tiger Wood is Back in Business
It is Tiger Woods time again. Tiger Woods romped into the first-round lead as he renewed his rivalry with defending champion Padraig Harrington at the USPGA Championship.
Woods shot a bogey-free five-under 67 to set the early clubhouse target which proved impregnable at Hazeltine. Ireland’s Harrington, second to Woods last week, carded 68 alongside the American in kind morning conditions.
Former champions Vijay Singh and David Toms ended in a share of third at three under late on day one.
The 46-year-old Singh, the 1998 and 2004 USPGA champion and 2001 winner Toms were the pick of the afternoon starters in a stiff breeze, joining Australians Robert Allenby and Mathew Goggin, American Hunter Mahan and big-hitting Spaniard Alvaro Quiros in shooting 69.
