Tiger roars again

[levina]

He is looking like a man getting ready to take back the kingdom he once ruled with anCallaway RAZR XF 3H, 4H, 5-PW Combo Iron Set with Graphite Shafts

After two years without a win, the 14-time major winner has put himself firmly back on track to a repeat of his Australian Masters victory in Melbourne when he last visited Australia in 2009.

This by posted a 5-under 67 after blazing through his first nine holes with five birdies and overall carding seven birdies as against two bogies on a day when low scores were pretty scarce.

It put him back where he spent so much time in the good old days. On Top of the leader board - and he was clearly enjoying it.

\"I played well today, I could have been lower on what would have been my first nine holes and basically I felt I didn\'t miss aCallaway RAZR XF 3H, 4H, 5-PW Combo Iron Set with Graphite Shafts

\"Even though I shot five under today I felt it could have been eight or nine,\" said a beaming Woods, who, for most of the round, looked a lot more like the confident star he used to be before he crashed into some high profile personal problems, a divorce, a long list of left leg injuries and a swing change that has taken time to perfect.

\"It feels good (on top of the leaderboard) but it feels good being there by actually playing properly and not like I\'m slicing it all over the place.

\"I\'m hitting the ball well and I\'ve hit so many Callaway RAZR XF 3H, 4H, 5-PW Combo Iron Set with Graphite Shafts
(of holes) these past few days that I felt it (his score) could have been quite a bit lower.\"

Australian Peter O\'Malley finished birdie-birdie for a six-under 66 to be a shot off the lead with top-ranked Australian young gun Jason Day another stroke away on seven-under 137.

Woods believes his 67 on Friday backed up his feeling after his opening bogey-free 68 here on Thursday that he is beginning to find his long overdue return to form and his 58th place on the World Rankings will soon be nothing more than a bad memory..

\"I\'m basically playing the way I have been playing at home. It\'s finally come to the golf course in a tournament setting. I\'ve been hitting like this at home, but it just hasn\'t come out at a tournament,\" Woods said.

\"It\'s progression. I\'ve been through some changes before and that\'s what happened. It takes a little bit of time, but once it starts coming the confidence starts building.\" Callaway RAZR XF 3H, 4H, 5-PW Combo Iron Set with Graphite Shafts

Hitting off at the 10th tee, Woods\' bogey-free run ended at the par-4 third and his 30th hole of the tournament where he missed a 30-foot putt for par.
