Tour Championship 2018: Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler Lead After Round 1

Tiger Woods is in the hunt to win the FedEx Cup.

Woods carded a five-under 65 in Thursday's first round of 2018 Tour Championship, putting him in a tie for first place with Rickie Fowler. The pair have a one-stroke lead over Gary Woodland and Justin Rose.

Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau round out the top five at three under.

Woods, who is looking for his first win on Tour since 2013, walked to the 18th tee box at three under but hit a 28-foot eagle putt to end his round and send a roar through the crowd.
