(Updates at end of first round)
BETHESDA, Maryland, July 2 (Reuters) - Holder Anthony Kim fired a course-record, eight-under-par 62 to upstage tournament host Tiger Woods in the opening round of the $6 million AT&T National at Congressional Country Club on Thursday.
The 24-year-old California native registered eight birdies in a flawless display to hold a two-shot lead over fellow Americans Woods, DA Points and Bryce Molder.
"This golf course fits my eye and when I hit it wide I seem to get lucky out here," Kim told reporters after taking advantage of ideal scoring conditions.
"I love coming back to a course I have good feelings about and obviously playing well last year helped. I'm starting to see the break on these greens pretty well."
World number one Woods, a double winner on the 2009 PGA Tour, recorded seven birdies and one bogey on the pristine 7,255-yard course near Washington, D.C. Continued...
