Tiger Woods shoots his lowest round in five years, a 62 to tie for the lead at the BMW

Tiger Woods shares the lead at the BMW Championship following his lowest round in more than five years.

He fired an 8-under 62 that leaves him even with Rory McIlroy through one round, one stroke ahead of Xander Schauffele.  

Woods didn't hit anything longer than a 9-iron into the par 4s and didn't miss a green until his 14th hole.

It was Woods' lowest score in an opening round in nearly 20 years.

McIlroy bogeyed 16 and 17 to fall one shot behind Woods, but the Irishman closed with a birdie to pull even.
