With the afternoon groups finishing up their rounds at the first round of the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club, Bubba Watson has a two-shot lead. Watson fired a 6-under 64 that included seven birdies and a single bogey, to open up a two shot gap on the trio of Phil Mickelson, Kenny Perry and Adam Scott.
Mickelson recorded six birdies on the day, including a bogey-free front nine, before giving a pair of shots back to finish at 4-under with Perry and Scott. Chad Campbell and Sean O'Hair were a shot back at 3-under, with notables Steve Stricker and Rory McIlroy in the hunt at 2-under.
Meanwhile, noted golf enthusiast Tiger Woods is in the process of having his worst round since returning to golf back in April. Woods is currently 5-over through 16 holes; a disastrous round that has tied for third to last. Woods got off to an inauspicious start with back-to-back bogeys, and never recovered: he got his only birdie of the day on the sixth hole, and aside from that it's only been bogeys (four more to be exact) and pars for Woods.
