Tiger Woods shares the lead with Ricky Fowler at the Tour Championship

Tiger Woods has a share of the lead through one round of the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

Woods made an eagle putt from just over 25 feet on the par-5 18th hole for a 5-under 65 that ties him with Rickie Fowler.

It wasn't as low as the 62 he shot at Aronimink to share the 18-hole lead in the BMW Championship two weeks ago.

For Woods, this one felt even better because of the dry, tougher conditions at East Lake.

Justin Rose and Gary Woodland are one stroke back and one ahead of Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tony Finau.

Rose is playing his first tournament since being elevated to the top of the world ranking last Monday.
