Matteson made eight birdies in a bogey-free 8-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead over fellow Americans Jeff Overton, Brian Harman and Robert Garrigus.
Woods was 2 under early, but was even after nine holes after par putts lipped out on the eighth and ninth holes.
Woods recovered strongly with five birdies on the first eight holes of the back nine and finished with a 66 on the par 71, 6,197-yard The Mines Resort and Golf Club course, missing an 8-foot birdie putt on 18.
