Tiger Woods is doing that thing he does where he gets everyone all riled up early in a tournament. On Thursday, at the BMW Championship, Woods went out on the back nine in 29 and climbed into the lead at six-under.

Woods made four birdies and an eagle and by all accounts looks really good after his first nine holes of the day.

He added another birdie on the first hole, his 10th of the day, to get to seven-under.

Here are the highlights.

1 hole.
1 birdie.
