Tiger Woods grabbed a share of the lead in brilliant style in the opening round of the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Woods holed from 25 feet for an eagle on the 18th at East Lake to complete a five under par 65 and join Ryder Cup team-mate Rickie Fowler at the top of the leaderboard.
After three-putting the first hole for a bogey, Woods recovered to birdie the fifth and sixth and picked up further shots on the 12th and 14th before thrilling the large crowds with his grandstand finish.
The 42-year-old has recorded six top-10 finishes this season but has not tasted victory since the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational.
Gary Woodland is in third, a shot back on four under alongside world number one Justin Rose, with another of the early starters Rory McIlroy in tied fifth on minus three.
The County Down golfer had an up-and-down round, hitting seven birdies, including four in five holes on his front nine, two bogeys and a double bogey six on the par four 12th.
Rory McIlroy had held the early lead after carding four birdies in the first six holes, but eventually had to settle for a three-under-par 67.
"There was a lot of good in there," the 2016 champion said.
"I drove the ball great, I put the ball in play which you really need to with this Bermuda rough, and I hit a lot of good iron shots and wedges, the stuff that I've been working on the past few weeks.
"The game is trending, it's going in the right direction. I feel like 67 is the worst I could have shot today which obviously bodes well for the rest of the week."
