Tiger roars

Tiger Woods was off to a flying start against Australian Stephen Leaney in their Accenture world match play championship third-round clash at La Costa in California today.

The world number one and top seed did not even have to putt on the first hole, but when he did at the short second, he drained a 25-footer to go two-up and then Woods made a 14-foot eagle putt on the 575-yard third.
