Tiger Woods' Round 1 at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP by the numbers

Tiger Woods has a great chance to join Sam Snead with a record-tying 82nd PGA TOUR win this weekend at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP thanks to a stellar 6-under 64 that sent him to a share of the lead after the opening round at Accordia Golf Narshino Country Club.

Here’s a quick look at some of the important numbers to come out of the 43-year-old’s first round of the 2019-20 season:

• This was Woods’ 57th round of 64 or better (most of any player on TOUR since stats were officially taken in 1983). Phil Mickelson is next with 55. Jim Furyk and Kenny Perry are next with 47.

• His 6-under 64 is his lowest round to open a season in his career.

• Nine birdies is his most in a round since the first round of the 2013-WGC Mexico Championship. (His best through two rounds is 17 at the same event).

• Carded three more birdies in the first round than any other player in the field.

• Was his lowest round on TOUR since a first-round 62 at the 2018 BMW Championship

• Tied for first in the field in greens in regulation with 15 of 18, including 14 in a row.

• Hit just six of 13 fairways (46.2%).

• Played the par-3s in 4 under, the best in the field.

• It is his best round on TOUR that opened 3-over through the first three holes (in the ShotLink era since 2003). On previous occasions with such a start, he failed to break par, with his best being an even-par round at the 2013 Memorial Tournament Presented by Nationwide.

• Was his third time opening with bogey-or-worse on each of the first three holes (Since 2003). The others came in the 2012 (+3) and 2006 (+6) U.S. Open.

• Was his second time shooting 64 with three bogeys, the other being the second round of the 1996 John Deere Classic.

• Was his seventh time shooting 29 on either front- or back-nine in a PGA TOUR event (29 on outward nine).

• Woods has previously held the 18-hole lead/co-lead 30 times and has converted that into victory 15 times. The last three times were converted to wins. (2006 and 2002 World Golf Championships – Mexico Championships and 2005 Open Championship).

• Since 1983 10 players (with a minimum of three) have converted 50 percent (or more) of first round leads/co-leads. Ernie Els (67%, 4 of 6), Justin Thomas (67%, 4 of 6), Ben Crane (67%, 2 of 3) and Patrick Reed (60%, 3 of 5) are the only players with a better percentage than Woods.

• If you look at players who had a minimum 10 first-round leads/co-leads since 1983, Woods' 50 percent rate is the best. Nick Price (40%, 6 of 15) is the next-best.

• Woods has won seven times in his first start of the season – 1997 Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2000 Sentry Tournament of Champions, 2003 Buick Invitational, 2006 Buick Invitational, 2007 Buick Invitational, 2008 Buick Invitational, 2013 Farmers Insurance Open.
