NORTON, Mass., Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods shot a 5-under 66 Friday to take the lead after one round of the PGA's Deutsche Bank Championship at Norton, Mass.

He has a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley, Joe Ogilvie, Nathan Green, Justin Rose and Bob May.

"I feel good now," said Woods, who has won his last four tournaments -- including his third British Open title and his third PGA Championship. "I hit three bad shots right in a row, and then I got it going."

Former British Open champion Todd Hamilton, Jason Gore, Peter Lonard, Nicholas Thompson, Robert Karlsson, Michael Allen and one of Woods' Ryder Cup teammates, J.J. Henry, are tied for seventh place at 3-under 68.

Defending champion Olin Browne shot 2-under 69 and is part of a group tied for 14th place along with Kenny Perry, 2003 PGA Champion Shaun Micheel and 1996 U.S. Open winner Steve Jones.
