Ontheair potbunker,blastingoutto the fairway and holing out from 160 yards for birdie. He made five birdies on the back nine, three on the par 5s. That made him low Ital- ian — barely. Francesco Molinari and Edoardo Molinari have games that are nothing alike, though they shot the same score. They were in a large group at 68 along with Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Brooks Koepka, Shane Lowry and Adam Scott. Scott stands out as the No. 1 player in the world, and because he was the only player in the top 10 who played in the after- noon when the wind made Hoylake tougher. Scott went out in 31 and was slowed only by two bogeys on the back nine. Even in tame conditions, the British Open can mete out punishment — to play- ers, to spectators and even a golf club. Phil Mickelson was try- ing to get back to even par when he hooked his ap- proach to the 18th beyond the out-of-bounds stakes down the right side of the hole and had to scramble for a bogey and a 74. He hasn't broken par at a ma- jor since winning at Muir- field last summer. That still doesn't top the bad day of Ernie Els. His opening tee shot hit a spectator in the face, and the sight of so much blood shook the Big Easy. When he got to the green, he missed a 1-foot putt, and then carelessly tried to back-hand the next one into the hole and missed that one. The triple bogey sent him to a 79. Henrik Stenson knocked a 30-foot birdie putt off the 12th green and made dou- ble bogey, and then took two hacks out of the shin- high grass left of the 17th fairway. Walking to his next shot, he snapped his gap wedge over his thigh like a baseball player — Bo Jackson comes to mind — who had just struck out with the bases loaded. Through all this activ- ity, two names came to the forefront — McIlroy and Woods, both trying to re- store their games from dif- ferent circumstances. McIlroy's only victory this year was at the BMW PGA Championship, where he started his week by breaking off his engage- ment with Caroline Woz- niacki. He could have had more chances to win ex- cept for that 40 on the front nine at Quail Hollow, the 42 on the front nine at The Players Championship and the 43 on the back nine at the Memorial. He met with Jack Nick- laus, and the topic of his freaky Fridays came up. "I didn't mention it to him," McIlroy said. "He mentioned it to me — 'How the hell can you shoot 63 and then 78?' No, I think what we talked about was just holding a round to- gether. And he was never afraid to make a change in the middle of the round ... to get it back on track." The trick for McIlroy is to not get derailed in the second round. For the year, he is 55-under par in the first round and 15-over par in the second round. Woods gave a light fist pump when he rolled in a 30-foot putt from just off the green on No. 11. He then hit a beautiful approach to 6 feet for birdie on the 12th. That put him under par in a tournament for the first time since March 9, the fi- nal round of Doral. OK, the sample size is small — that was the last tournament he played until returning to Congressional three weeks ago after back surgery. Even so, he was play- ing with such rhythm late in his round that he might have wanted to keep going. That makes today a big day for Woods, too. Golf FROM PAGE 1 PETER MORRISON — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tiger Woods of the U.S. plays a shot off the eighth tee during the first day of the British Open Golf championship Thursday at the Royal Liverpool golf club in Hoylake, England. Raiders owner Mark Davis has said he doesn't want to be a renter in the 49ers' facility, which is now fitted with red seats and posters of past and pres- ent San Francisco greats. The 49ers' new home, which is the first LEED Gold Certified stadium in the NFL for its environ- mentally friendly design, will hold about 68,500 fans and has the ability to ex- pand to 75,000 for Super Bowl 50 in February 2016. The facility features 165 luxury suites, 9,000 club seats and even a green roof-top deck that includes solar panels and harvested herbs for on-site food prep- aration. Free Wi-Fi will be avail- able at the stadium, and a smartphone application will allow fans to have food delivered to any seat and check waiting lines at con- cession stands and bath- rooms. "The stadium reflects the greatness of the region, the technology and the in- novation," Goodell said. The seats in the lower bowl will hold some 45,000, or two-thirds of stadium capacity, and will be the largest first level in the NFL. All club levels look out to the field in one direc- tion and the surrounding valley and mountains in another. It's 35 rows up to the first club seating area, while Row 1 of the stadium is about 10 feet off the field. The only lingering sta- dium concerns from most 49ers fans involve the traf- fic in an already congested area and rising ticket prices. And, of course, some are still bitter about the team leaving San Francisco, where the team tried and failed for decades to get a new stadium. Levi's Stadium, steps away from the 49ers' prac- tice facility, is about 45 miles south of downtown San Francisco — the lon- gest distance any team in the league has to the city that bears its name. The 49ers had played in San Francisco since their es- tablishment in 1946, in- cluding the past 43 years at Candlestick Park, as the team won all five of its Su- per Bowl titles. The whipping wind and cold air from the city's fa- mous fog made conditions constantly change at Can- dlestick, which is set to be demolished. That's far from the near year-round sunshine — and tempera- tures that can be 20-25 de- grees warmer — in Santa Clara, where most players and coaches already live. The 49ers will host Pey- ton Manning and the Den- ver Broncos in the first pre- season game at Levi's Sta- dium on Aug. 17. The first regular-season game will be against Chicago on Sept. 14, a Sunday night. The first event at Levi's Stadium will be a Major League Soccer game be- tween the San Jose Earth- quakes and the Seattle Sounders on Aug. 2. Other major events in- clude the Pac-12 champi- onship game, the upgraded San Francisco bowl game — formerly known as the Fight Hunger Bowl — and a regular-season college football game between Cal- ifornia and Oregon. York said the only prom- ise he has not delivered on with the stadium is a Su- per Bowl title, and he joked with players and coaches in attendance that there's "no pressure, guys." He also said the 49ers will hold a parade on Mar- ket Street in San Francisco when — not if — they win another Super Bowl title. "Now," he said, "it's time to make some new memo- ries in our new home." Stadium FROM PAGE 1 By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers showed off their new home in style Thursday while quietly making a move to protect quarterback Colin Kaeper- nick's blindside. After an extravagant ribbon-cutting ceremony to open Levi's Stadium, the 49ers announced left tackle Joe Staley has signed a two-year contract exten- sion that will run through the 2019 season. The 29-year-old Staley, who had wanted a new deal this offseason, was among the players at the event. "We both felt it was time to get something done, and what I'm most excited about is the opportunity to play my whole entire career as a San Francisco 49er," Staley said later on a conference call with re- porters. "That was one of my goals that I set out to do as a rookie coming into the NFL — make an NFL ros- ter, become a starter, win a Super Bowl and play my whole entire career with one team. "So very excited for the opportunity to do that and really grateful for the 49ers allowing me that opportu- nity. Now it's really just time to go work on that Su- per Bowl." Staley's extension is the latest move in a busy off- season that has seen some of San Francisco's biggest offensive contributors get new deals — and others take strong measures in hopes of getting one. Last month, the 49ers rewarded Kaepernick with a six-year extension worth up to $126 million. Tight end Vernon Davis and right guard Alex Boone, though, have held out of the team's voluntary offseason work- out program and manda- tory minicamp.
