For openers, Tiger Woods will take it.
The score certainly could have been lower, a few more putts could have dropped, but on a picturesque day beside the Pacific Ocean, a 3-under-par 69 at Torrey Pines in his first round of 2011 will do.
Playing the easier North Course in the opening round of the Farmers Insurance Open, Woods made three birdies and no bogeys in a rather mundane round that saw him fail to birdie any of the par 5s but never really get in trouble, either.
He is 5 strokes behind rookie Sung-hoon Kang(below) of South Korea, who also played the North. John Daly, whose last victory came at this event in 2004, shot 67 on the more difficult South Course, as did Phil Mickelson, who has won this tournament three times.
