AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) On a busy opening day at Augusta National that featured mud, a little rain and a snowman on the final hole for Henrik Stenson, Westwood pro- vided a steady hand Thursday with seven birdies for a 5-under 67 that gave him a one-shot lead. packets with rules are available at the Corning High School main office, by calling Mike Albee at 824-8046 or at corninghs.org/vballfundraiser. Registration packets need to be turned in by April 30. The first 16 teams to pay and turn in their forms will receive spots in the tournament. Money is non- refundable. Westwood has led after the opening round of a major, though that was little comfort. Louis Oosthuizen made four birdies over the last five holes for a 68, while Peter Hanson of Sweden made six birdies for his 68. Bubba Watson, blast- ing tee shots with his pink driver, was among six players at 69. Westwood had said it It was the first time would be naive for any- one to think this major was only about Tiger Woods and Rory McIl- roy. happy to still be in the running. Woods took two penalty shots, hit three tee shots that rattled the pines and was thrilled to make bogey on his last hole for a 72, the first time since 2008 that he failed to break par in the opening round of the Masters. ''I had some of the Those two horses were worst golf swings I've ever hit today,'' Woods said. McIlroy opened with a double bogey, though his big moment was on the 10th hole. A year ago, that's where his Sunday collapse began with a hooked tee shot into the cabins for a triple bogey. This time, he pushed a 3- wood into the trees on the other side and man- aged a par. ''That was a bit of an improvement from the last time I played it,'' McIlroy said. Better yet was a birdie-birdie finish, including a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the 18th that gave him a 71, making him one of 28 players who broke par and were within four shots of the lead. ''It was huge,'' McIl- roy said. ''I didn't feel like I had my best out there. To finish under par for the day, I'm very pleased.'' Along with Woods smiling after a 72, three- time Masters champion Phil Mickelson was delighted with a 74. He sprayed tee shots all over the course, including one so far left on the 10th into bushes he didn't know existed that he never found his ball. Mickelson made a triple bogey there, then spent the rest of the back nine scrambling for his life. He recounted all the bad shots, the missed opportunities, the triple bogey, and decided the glass was half full, almost spilling over.

Against the Diamondbacks, though, the San Francisco ace had big trouble. In four starts against Arizona, he was 0-3 with a 4.32 ERA. Kennedy, on the other hand, was 3-0 with a 1.22 ERA in five starts against San Fran- cisco. Kennedy is Arizona's season-opening pitcher for the second year in a row and he wants to avoid the game's hype as much as possible. ''Because it's against the Giants, at home, it is going to be a little bit more for our players,'' Kennedy said. ''For myself, I will try to keep it at a minimum.

OAKLAND (AP) — By the time Oakland gets through its first eight games, the Athletics will already have faced Mariners ace Felix Hernandez three times. It's a crazy schedule that began with these two clubs facing off in their first two games last week in Japan, with each winning once — including ''King Felix's'' Game 1 victory at the Tokyo Dome. Now, the AL West rivals resume their season-opening series stateside — albeit eight days later. It's a nontra- ditional two-game series Fri- day and Saturday. Then, the A's travel to Seattle next weekend for a three-game series at Safeco Field in the Mariners' home opener. Yes, the Mariners and A's Mickelson said.

''It's a little weird playing so many games, then we've got their home opener, too,'' Oakland catcher Kurt Suzu- ki said. ''We've got like nine games in the first two weeks. That's part of scheduling, Wedge even swapped his starters for this weekend to move Hernandez to Satur- day and Jason Vargas to Fri- day so Hernandez is lined up to also pitch the Mariners' home opener April 13. ''He's the ace,'' Hernan- Seattle manager Eric dez joked of Vargas. This situation is also unique for these clubs given they opened the regular sea- son last week only to return for more exhibition games before they reunite in the Bay Area. These two clubs will cer- tainly know each other well by mid-April. ''Once we've ended up seeing them it will be like 'Good riddance,' I think (for) both sides,'' A's man- ager Bob Melvin said. ''I see where they flip-flopped their starters and we'll see Felix over at their place again. We'll see him three times in the first I don't know how many games of the season. We have to step up and beat him. Until we do that, we can complain about it all we See A's, page 2B
