Tiger Woods shoots 64 to trail by two in Wyndham Championship

Woods cards best score for two years

Tiger Woods stole the show on the opening day of the Wyndham Championship thanks to a season-best round of 64.

Despite dropping down to 286th in the world rankings due to a dismal run of form this year, Woods attracted much of the attention once again and he offered a reminder of his qualities with seven birdies to reach six-under-par.

In his best round since the 2013 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, there was also a moment for the world number one's highlight reel as he chipped in on his first hole, but his efforts were not enough for a share of the lead.

Erik Compton, William McGirt and Tom Hoge currently sit at the top of the leaderboard on eight-under, while Morgan Hoffman, Derek Ernst and Jim Herman are just a shot further back.

It was an impressive day for Martin Kaymer, Carl Pettersson and Davis Love III, too, as they joined Woods on six-under.
