A smiling Tiger Woods made a successful return to competitive golf on Saturday, teaming up with his son Charlie to card a 10-under-par 62 at the PNC Championship family tournament in Florida.

Woods, playing for the first time since suffering career-threatening injuries in a February car accident in California, showed flashes of his old brilliance, even though he lacked his usual power and length.

The 45-year-old used a cart to get around around the Ritz Carlton Golf Course's 7,106-yard layout.
