MIAMI, US - AUSTRALIAN Geoff Ogilvy and Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez shared the first round lead at the WGC-CA Championship after posting impressive seven-under-par rounds of 65 in windy conditions on Thursday.

The pair had a one-shot lead over American Stewart Cink, with world number one Tiger Woods part of a group of five players who were two shots off the lead.

Woods bogeyed the par-four 18th, missing a five-foot putt as rain began to fall.

Woods, the defending champion and looking for his 10th win in 11 tournaments, also bogeyed the seventh.

The unfancied Jimenez ended his round with an excellent 16-foot putt for a birdie on the 18th.
