Tiger Woods offered glimpses of a return to the form that secured him 14-major championships as he fired an opening round 68 at the Bridgestone Invitational.
Playing his first tournament for nearly three months after an injury lay-off, Woods finished day one in Ohio at two-under-par, six behind leader Adam Scott, of Australia.
With three birdies and just one bogey Woods looked in good touch in his first competitive action since he dropped out of The Players Championship back in May.
After his round he told Sky Sports: "I felt good today, I hit the ball really flush. The hardest part was to control my distance. It was fun.
"I've got much more speed and compression through impact and the ball is taking off. I was hitting numbers I haven't hit before."
Asked what he missed most about being away from the game he replied: "The competition, by far.
"I'm right there. Six back, three rounds to go I'll keep plugging forward and playing my way round the golf course. It's fun to be walking around pain free."
