Tiger Woods, world number one, seems to have made a comeback. The U.S. has achieved one of the best cards on the first day The Barclays in Paramus, as he shares the lead with Vaughn Taylor.

Tiger, who this week officially announced their divorce so far was his wife, Elin Nordegren, signed 65 shots, six under par in his first run at Ridgewood Paramus Coungtry Club. That was the best lap as the U.S. has done throughout this season.

The current world number one said seven birdies and a lone bogey on the 12th hole, which returned to winning ways. That was a path that seemed to have lost since I skipped the scandal of his extramarital dalliances.

Beside him stood his compatriot Vaughn Taylor, also with six under par after seven birdies and one bogey in his case in the hole 3.

Tiger Woods closed with one under par the first day of the fourth ‘major’ of the year, the PGA Championship, played at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. Sergio Garcia has mortgaged your options with six shots over the 72 impacts of the field.

The world number one, who had in the Bridgestone Invitational the worst performance of his career on the PGA Tour (to finish 18 strokes over par), washed his image with a decent first day that it, not helped him placed leader.

Woods, who does not have guaranteed their presence in the Ryder Cup, trying to save what could be his worst season. The California, who was not accurate in the first nine holes (with two bogeys and a single ‘birdie’), amended its action in the following nine with three birdies, which offset his only lapse on the 16th hole.

Tiger caught on or off at this stage almost lunatic, some of which recalls some of the Irish coast, their final objective data are inappropriate for a world number one. In the recent Bridgestone Invitational, the figures for California, 34, were sadly unpublished: committed “bogey” or worse in 25 holes (the worst record of his career on the PGA Tour) and finished the four rounds with 18 strokes over pair (he had never done as a professional).

Tiger also finished at No. 78 (his worst finish after 72 holes) in a tournament he had won seven of its eleven interventions and a final round 77 strokes (his worst finish as a professional). With these arguments, mundane for a megastar, and after more than two years without winning a ‘Grande’, performance of Tiger offers few guarantees for the final tournament of ‘Grand Slam’.

Mickelson, 40, is the only one who will have at its disposal to unseat Tiger because English Lee Westwood, third in the world and the most regular season, is sidelined through injury.
