Tiger Woods used a surge in the second half of his opening round to card a four-under 66 at the Bridgestone Invitational. He was three strokes behind leader Webb Simpson after finishing the first 18 with afternoon play just getting under way.





The most encouraging sign for Woods throughout the round was his ball striking. He consistently hit accurate iron shots into the greens, which allowed him to post a nifty score in Round 1 despite not having a ton of success with the putter.

The seven-time Bridgestone Invitational winner got the tournament started in ideal fashion. He found the fairway off the 10th tee and then struck a laser approach shot within a couple feet. He easily converted for an opening birdie.



Woods' first stay under par didn't last long. A poor tee shot on his second hole of the day left him in the right rough. Since he couldn't reach the green from there, he had to get up and down for par. It was a challenge he couldn't meet as he gave a stroke right back.



He had looks at birdie on each of the next two holes but wasn't able to connect on mid-range putts. Failing to capitalize at No. 13 was particularly disappointing for Woods,...
