Tiger Woods impressed a world-class field after a 16-month layoff in Thursday's opening round of the Hero World Challenge despite double bogeys on two of the last three holes to shoot a one-over par 73. Woods, who had not played since August 2015 after back surgery, birdied three holes in a row starting at the par-5 sixth and shared the early lead at four under after eight holes. Eighth-ranked Patrick Reed, who shot 72, played alongside Woods and liked what he saw from the 14-time major champion.
