Former Green Jacket winner Bernhard Langer looks in high spirits at the start but still fails to make the cut Scotland's Colin Montgomerie drives up the first fairway on his way to a par, but eventually cards a 75 John Daly bogeys the first after finding a bunker but immediately gets back on track with a birdie 2004 champion Phil Mickelson consolidates his first round score of two under to remain well in contention Ernie Els shoots up the leaderboard with three front-nine birdies but cards a double-bogey six on the 10th Chad Campbell fires three straight birdies to take the lead from Vijay Singh on his way to an excellent 67 Overnight leader Singh birdies the par-four first but blots his card with double bogeys on the fourth and fifth Darren Clarke posts a two-under 70 to stay in contention in the chasing pack of Mickelson, Els, and Tim Clark David Howell claims his second straight 71 to join Clarke as Britain's leading hopes on two-under Campbell bogeys the 17th but it doesn't stop him storming into a well-deserved lead Ireland's Padraig Harrington maintained his fightback from a poor start, finishing with 70 to be just five off the lead Favourite and world number one Tiger Woods gets back to even par after an up-and-down front nine Rocco Mediate reaches the clubhouse on three under, three shots behind Campbell, after making a 73 Kultida Woods watches on as her son, Tiger, remains five off the lead after adding 71 to Thursday's 72 Veteran Fred Couples moves into second place on four under after picking up his fourth birdie at the 14th
