ATLANTA — Sean O'Hair got a putting tip from Tiger Woods and put it to good use Thursday in the Tour Championship, opening with a 4-under 66 to take a one-shot lead in the final FedEx Cup playoff event.

Woods recovered from a shaky start with three birdies during a four-hole stretch on the back nine at East Lake and had a 67, leaving him one shot back along with Padraig Harrington and British Open champion Stewart Cink.

Former Illini Steve Stricker, the No. 2 seed, was among those at 70.
