Narrative:
First leg with a new first officer. First leg of pairing. Routing looked good on ate page. During climb, ZDC cleared us direct to swann. Used FMS to navigation. After swann, aircraft made an early turn to ood instead of continuing to bross then ood. Center caught our deviation and gave us a heading to correct then cleared us direct to ood shortly after. Suspect first officer misprogrammed departure route, removed or typed over bross intersection and I failed to catch the error during the preflight of the FMS.
