Kim leads from Woods after opening 62

02 Jul 2009 - 18:50:45

Defending champion Anthony Kim shot a course-record 62 to lead the AT&T National after the opening round at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.

The American missed just one green in a bogey-free round to stand at eight under par, two shots clear of tournament host Tiger Woods, DA Points and Bryce Molder.

"Whenever you can make a bunch of birdies and not bogeys to follow it up, it's going to be a good day," Kim said. "And fortunately, I kept the ball in play for most of the day and finally got some putts to fall this year."

World number one Woods, chasing a third tour win of the year, made seven birdies and a solitary bogey in his impressive 64.

"Today was nice to get back inside the ropes and get out there and try to catch AK," Woods said. "He lit it up this morning."

Australian Steve Elkington is one shot further back at five under, with England's Justin Rose well placed after a 67 on Thursday took him to three under, alongside Boo Weekley.
