Cup Boosts Birdie Into Leaderboard

Those three events will all be contested in June. As the calendar turns to July, there are three more events, including the Canadian Open.

 

The Canadian Tour Championship will be contested at Scarboro Golf and Country Club in Toronto, which is celebrating its centennial in 2012.

 

"Our recent agreement with the PGA Tour has also provided us with some new horsepower and we are confident that we can get those events in question over the hump when the full schedule is released in a month from now."

 

Woods hit 10 of 14 fairways and 17 greens in regulation, but needed 35 putts in round one.

 

World No. 1 Luke Donald had a one-under 71 in his first outing of the year. Donald played with McIlroy, also making his first start of 2012, and Woods in round one and will again on Friday.

 

World No. 2 Lee Westwood managed an even-par 72.

 

Martin Kaymer, the two-time defending champion and three-time winner, struggled badly on Thursday. He went out in 39, came back in 38 and signed for a five-over 77.

 

"I feel it suits me really well. Just one problem -- it suits Martin Kaymer even better," said McIlroy.

•    Rory McIlroy's performance yesterday was an exhibition of scoring. Certainly not brilliant at times, but he got the most out of his round.
