Tiger Woods, seeking an unprecedented 83rd career US PGA Tour victory, fired a three-under par 69 that left him three off the first-round lead shared by Sebastian Cappelen and Keegan Bradley at Torrey Pines.
At the famed tract north of San Diego, where the 44-year-old American has previously captured eight titles, Woods closed with a five-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole of Torrey Pines' North Course, with golfers also competing on the harder-playing South Course.
"Overall, I'm pleased to shoot in the 60s. The course was gettable today," Woods said. "I felt like I hit the ball well.
"I'm very pleased to get something in the red and get over to south tomorrow."
"I tried to keep everything as calm as I possibly could. I didn't do well at the start with a bogey. I fought back. I take a lot of positives to the South Course."
