Woods off and running in Charlotte

Tiger Woods finished with a flourish to establish a two-stroke lead after the first round of the Quail Hollow Championships in Charlotte.

The 33-year-old birdied six of his last nine holes on his way to a seven-under-par 65 to establish a first round lead over Steve Marino, Phil Mickelson, Jason Dufner and Robert Allenby who are tied for second on five under.
