Woods makes tidy start

Tiger Woods, who could not quite make up a 15-shot deficit in the US PGA championship last week, was quickly on the leaderboard at the NEC world championship in Akron today.

But that was not difficult – Woods was the first player to tee off in the 72-man event and at the 180-yard 12th, his third, he hit the flag with his tee shot and made a nine-foot putt.
