Defending AT&T National champion Anthony Kim shot a Congressional course record 62 to take an early lead in the AT&T National. Tournament host Tiger Woods shot a 64 later the same day to clock in tied for second place after one round with D.A. Points and Bryce Molder.
The low scores for much of the field were largely propelled by late Wednesday rains that left Congressional's Blue Course in Bethesda, Maryland soft and relatively easy to play. Woods in particular had hoped for a harder, more difficult course to make his own tournament a more worthy challenge.
As noted by the Washington Post, Kim is attempting his own comeback at the National, having suffered a series of injuries including a thumb issue since last year's event.
