Tiger shows stripes with 65 at Barclays

Yes, that really was Tiger Woods' name atop the leaderboard.

In his first tournament since his divorce, Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world Thursday at the Barclays in Paramus, N.J., when he opened with a 6-under 65, his lowest score of the year, to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor. It was his first time leading after any round on the PGA Tour since the Tour Championship last September.

"It's exciting to hit the ball flush again," Woods said. "It's something I've been missing all year."

He didn't miss much at Ridgewood Country Club. Woods hit all but one fairway and putted for birdie on all but two holes. And while he hit his driver only twice, they were two of his best shots of the day - including on the 291-yard fifth hole, where his drive landed pin-high and settled 15 feet away.

Woods and Taylor both had a one-shot lead over Adam Scott, Brian Gay and Ryan Palmer.

Michelle Wie had the second hole-in-one of her professional career on the way to a 7-under 65 and a three-shot lead after the first round of the CN Canadian Women's Open at Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Sarah Kemp was three strokes back of Wie after a 68, while defending champion Suzann Pettersen was in third place with a 69.
