It is incredibly a solid start for Wood, followed by six birdies in a 4-under-68 at the Spyglass Hill. It took him time to adjust to the golf courses and playing conditions of Pebble Beach.

In the arena with Woods, Johnson’s single mistake came from a poor tee shot on the par-3 12th into a trench. Though his start was tough to beat, the 4-foot birdie putt on the 4^th and he made it through six holes in 6 under, and then played solidly from there. While Woods made his part with consecutive birdies; filing his advance on no. 10 and two. He also advanced by putting for birdie on the par-5 11^th. Wood also holed a downhill, 8-foot birdie putt on the 17th and from behind the par-5 opening hole, hit a flop shot to 7 feet.
