Tiger Woods shot his best round of the year to claim a share of the lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando but it was not a one way traffic as England’s Paul Casey was more than a match for the world number one. On the other hand, Vaughn Taylor was the third person to card a six-under-par 64 but all the attention was on Woods and Casey.

It is worthwhile remembering that Woods has not played much in 2007 but when he claims he has just produced his best performance of the year, it still means something. According to Woods,

“It is definitely the best round of the year (although) I haven’t played that many. It was fun to hit the ball as well as I did and, more important, get off to a quick start, especially with the [forecasted stormy] weather coming in tomorrow. I controlled my flight all day, even when the wind started picking up. I missed a couple of putts early but after that I rolled the ball really well.”

Woods has won this event for four successive years from 2000 and if start is anything to go by, he looks all set to win it fifth time.
