PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON, playing for the first time in the United States since last September, finished with a 67 after his opening round in the Pebble Beach ATT National Pro-Am in California last night.
Playing at Monterey Peninsula Harrington was two over for his front nine but fought back with an eagle and three birdies on the homeward nine to finish on three under par.
Tiger Woods made a confident start to his 2012 PGA Tour campaign, mixing three birdies with a lone bogey in his first nine holes at Spyglass Hill, before birdies at 10 and 12 took him to four under.
