Sensational Scott lights up Firestone

FINDING your putting touch and a dollop of confidence is vital for anyone with major ambitions.

Just ask Lee Westwood and Tiger Woods, who opened with rounds of 67 and 68 respectively in the $8.5m (€6m) WGC-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.

As Australia’s Adam Scott fired a brilliant, eight under par 62 to lead by a shot from compatriot Jason Day (63) and by three from American Nick Watney (65), Woods produced a solid putting display as he made an encouraging return to the game after 12 weeks on the sidelines with left knee and Achilles tendon injuries.
