Woods began the day six strokes off the lead, but shot a nine-under-par 63 to take the early clubhouse lead at 23-under.

Japan's Hidemichi Tanaka (66) and Tim Herron (66) were three shots back in fourth.

Meanwhile, South Korean KJ Choi (64), David Toms (65), South African Tim Clark (66) and John Rollins (66) all finished at 21-under.
