Tiger Woods: "I'm right there"

Tiger Woods has said that he's "right there" following his opening round of 69 at the USPGA Championship in South Carolina.

The American cancelled out three bogeys with six birdies to leave himself three shots off the pace on three-under-par.

"Anything in the 60s is going to be a good start in a major championship and I'm right there," he said.

"You look up on the board, some guys four-under through six, a bunch of guys three-under through five. So it's one of those days where everyone is going to shoot six, seven, eight-under."

Sweden's Carl Pettersson tops the leaderboard after day one with a six-under round of 66.
