Though much of the day was spent awaiting Tiger Woods return to the golfing world at the WGC-Brigdestone Invitational, Adam Scott went low on Firestone to take the 18-hole lead with a brilliant 63 in round one.

Scott, who now has Wood's old caddy Steve Williams on his bag, fired a very impressive eight-under-par 62 to lead fellow countryman Jason Day by one after the first round in Akron Ohio.

Starting out by birdying the par-four 10th hole, Scott went on to run three birdies in a row on holes 13 through 15.
