Tees off this morning at Atlanta Athletic Club. The course looks awesome. Who does everyone like? I think my guy for this week is Jason Day, though I would love to see the American drought end.

Tiger got it to -3 thru 5, then doubled the 260 yard 15th. Back to -1.
Really hope it's Tiger, Fowler or Bubba that take the tourney!

Back to even for Tiger thru 7. Bubba Watson tearing it up so far -4 and the leader thru 6!

Even though disappointing for Tiger to give 3 strokes back, he's still only even...hopefully he finishes at -3 or so.

Agree, anything under par to open up the tournament will be great for Tiger. Finishing on the front 9 should be a plus, more scoring holes on that side.

likely double for tiger on 18. Playing like crap since the double on 15. Nobody has put up a good score on the front.

Welp Tiger was right about the final 4 holes being a tough test... 5 over on last 4 holes... Makes the turn at +2

Highest 1st round score in a Major for Tiger. He must not be fully healthy yet...

Think he'll withdraw from the tournament?

He's plenty healthy...his swing is a mess.

Fire Foley and go to Leadbetter. I hate Tiger but this is a joke to watch. Sean Foley is the biggest gimmicky coach I've ever seen. Anyone who gimmicks the stack and tilt (which is a gimmick itself) should be laughed out of the profession. Go to someone who actually knows the golf swing.

I don't think he will withdraw. I think he just hasn't had enough time to practice through swing changes. Look at his sand and short game -- not sharp. It is called rustiness. Will be interesting to see what he does tomorrow. Then he has a big layoff.

He's gonna need to come out like a banshee tomorrow if he wants a shot to stay around for the weekend..

McIlroy hurt his wrist when he hit a root with his swing...right now he is letting go of the club after every swing.

Bizarre watching McIlroy walk down the fairway with his wrist wrapped in ice... But he is champing it! Props.

McIlroy will see the weekend, but he's pretty far out at +3. Adam Scott right in contention at -4 right now. Tiger at +10 is cooked.

Wow...listening to Tiger's press conference...how screwed up in the head is he right now...he doesn't even know how far he's hitting his irons right now.

Hoping Fowler shoots around 65 and gets on the leaderboard heading into sunday.
