Honda Classic, Round One

And we are off! Phil birdies 10 and 12 and is -2 through 3 holes!

Picking right up from where he left off

missed an 11 footer for bird at 13

-2 through 4

bogey on 14...couldn't get up and down from 50 yards after driving it in the fairway bunker and having to lay up

-6 was the winning score last year. Just no big numbers.

Bounce back long birdie!!!!!

Wow, 30 footer for bird!

-2 through 6

PHIL has started fast every week so far this year. Every week.

1st 9 holes for 1st round scoring has been to be crazy for PHIL this year.

solid par at 16

-2 through 7

50 foot birdie putt just misses at 17

-2 through 8

Phil sticks it to 5 feet from 120 out and makes bird on the par five 18th!

He is now alone in first at -3 (through nine holes)

On to the front nine! Hopefully Phil can finish strong.

par on 1

-3 through 10

For the second hole in a row, Phil appears to have used iron off of the tee...and still missed the fairway... :-(

just said very windy on course

16-17 can't attacked too hard today.

Lag putting for pars today.

great bird at #18 but apparently missed his short putt at #2--back to -2

missed four footer on 2?

That is a rough bogey after a nice third shot seemed to ensure a par

-2 through 11

what we don't want is the tale of 2 nines. Phil played tough nine 1st and did great. anything under par is good here

Seems every time Phil is on a short par 5 he misses the fairway. He is trying too hard to get a bounce back from the bogey on the last hole.

Phil needs an up and down to make birdie at the par 5 third hole

I hope that chip was really hard, because Phil sure didn't hit that close - from 98 feet away in the fairway, Phil hits it 35 feet past and off the green? Yikes.

fails to get up and down on last 2 holes. GEEZZZZ

just lost shots on those last 2 holes.

Hole #3 is the big birdie hole on the front nine--only a par

a little over 6 feet for birdie at 4! C'mon, Phil!

Strokes a good putt, but it grazes the lip and doesn't drop.

argh

still -2, through 13
