Tiger Woods, playing with current world No. 1 Lee Westwood and current world No. 2 Martin Kaymer, fired a -1 and is six shots back of leader Rory McIlroy.  Westwood and Kaymer are both -3.

“The last time I played in a pairing like this was the U.S. Open in 2008, the top three guys, and we had a lot of fun,” Woods said. “It was fun competing and playing in a group. I think tomorrow will be the same.”
