Woods, Rose share early lead
TIGER Woods delivered the best possible response to suggestions earlier this week that he is intimidated by Rory McIlroy as he outscored the world number one by three shots in the Tour Championship first round on Thursday in Atlanta.
Playing with the mop-haired Northern Irishman in the final pairing in front of huge galleries at East Lake Golf Club, Woods birdied two of the last four holes for a four-under-par 66 to burst into a share of the lead with Britain's Justin Rose in the 2012 FedExCup finale.
Rose chipped in from about 20 yards short of the green on the 14th, the start of three birdies over his last five holes. It ended with an even bigger surprise. From the back of the green on the 221-yard closing hole, Rose faced a 50-foot putt with about 20 feet of break, and watched it snap to the right over the final few feet and into the hole.
He is No. 24 in the FedEx Cup standings, and a long shot to win the FedEx Cup and the US$10 million bonus.
Brandt Snedeker was in the group at 68, while Phil Mickelson joined McIlroy at 69.
Steve Stricker had the only bogey-free round and was at 67, along with Matt Kuchar, Bo Van Pelt and Scott Piercy.
McIlroy played his first competitive round on the tough East Lake layout.
