Former world number one Tiger Woods made a decent start to his 2011 season, firing an opening-round, three-under par 69 at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in the United States.
With the first winless season of his career now behind him, American Woods hit three birdies in a flawless round on a near-perfect day.
It left him five strokes behind leader Kang Sung-hoon, from South Korea.
Kang birdied his final two holes to finish with six overall as well as an eagle to end up eight under par.
American pair Alex Prugh and Rickie Fowler were a shot behind the South Korean on seven under with US compatriot Chris Kirk finishing day one on the North Course with a round of 66.
The best score on the South Course was 67 by American John Daly.
