ROUND 1 COMPLETE (6:10 p.m.): The first round is complete here at Firestone, where Padraig Harrington is in the lead after a 6-under 64. Yes, the same Harrington that missed 4 of his last 6 cuts and whose best finish in the last three months is a tie for 35th.
It wasn't the same Harrington, though. Today, he was nearly flawless, making a half-dozen birdies while hitting 14 of 18 greens in regulation.
Right behind him are a trio that includes Tim Clark and Scott Verplank, who just finished off a 66. In all, there are 25 players within five shots of the lead, including Tiger Woods, as we conclude the opening round here at Firestone. -- Brian Wacker
LEE SOLID IN ROUND 1 (6:05 p.m.): Danny Lee is playing in his first World Golf Championships event at the Bridgestone Invitational this week. But it's not his first look at Firestone Country Club.
The 19-year-old came over to play the South Course after he missed the cut at the Memorial Tournament earlier this year. And Lee has been in Akron since last Friday after making another early exit at the Buick Open.
Those extra practice rounds appear to have paid off, too. The Korean turned Kiwi fired a 68 Thursday that left him two strokes off the lead.
After his round, Lee said shyly that he was "really happy" and "pretty impressed with myself." He opened and closed his round with bogeys, but last year's U.S. Amateur champ managed five birdies in between.
"It's playing really tough out there," Lee said. "Fairways are really narrow and fairways are starting to firm up, so it's really hard to hit it on the fairways. If you miss the fairway in those bunkers and rough out there, it's really tough to hit it on the green from there.
"So I think the main thing is I've got to work on my tee shot better, and hopefully I'll do better."
Lee is playing in his 11thPGA TOUR event and has earned $350,054. He needs another $187,904 -- roughly a seventh-place finish or better this week -- to earn special temporary membership on TOUR that would allow him to receive unlimited invitations for the remainder of the season.
As a non-membe, though, Lee is limited to 12 TOUR events -- and as it stands now, the last start will come at the Wyndham Championship in two weeks. That's why this week and Greensboro, where he tied for 20th as an amateur last year, are so important.
Should Lee earn special temporary membership he will be able to accept sponsors invites during the Fall Series -- or play the week following a top-10 -- as he tries to finish among the top 125 on the money list and get his card for 2009. A win, of course, would give Lee a two-year exemption.
Otherwise, he'll need to go to q-school to get his card. -- Helen Ross
TIGER IN AT 2 UNDER (5:50 p.m.): Revealing fact of the day: Tiger Woods has never played more than 9 holes in a practice round at Firestone. Of course, when you've won there six times in 10 trips, you don't fix what isn't broken, which was the case again this year for Woods, who just capped off a round of 2-under 68.
On the day, Woods hit just five fairways, but he still managed 13 greens in regulation. "Nothing great," Woods termed his round afterward in an interview with GOLF CHANNEL. "I just hung around all day."
That he did. As Woods noted, he was 1 under in the first round last week and was in 95th place. Right now, he's 2 under and in eighth. Different course, different result, even if there are some numbers to be had out there today.
"You could shoot some good numbers, but I haven't seen the the golf course play this long," Woods added.
By long Woods wasn't referring to any course changes, rather the fact that there's very little run-out on the fairways. All that said, Woods is right where he's been many times before here -- His first-round scoring average is a shade over 67.2. -- Brian Wacker
POULTER BOUNCES BACK (5:25 p.m.): After missing the cut at the British Open, Ian Poulter needed to get away from the game. He did just that, not playing again until this week after having played seven events in nine weeks.
"I came here a little rusty," Poulter told GOLF CHANNEL.
Well, that rust appears to have flaked off with Poulter shooting a 3-under 67 today that included four birdies and just one bogey. "I got on the course and started hitting good shots," Poulter added. "It's a very strange game."
Two of those good shots came on Nos. 16 and 18, where he managed to avoid bogeys with solid up-and-downs. As a result, Poulter is just three back. -- Brian Wacker
STRICKER ONE STROKE BACK (4:47 p.m.): Steve Stricker has won two of his last five starts. He's got a leg up on another, too, after opening with a 67 Thursday that left him one stroke off the lead.
"I started off a little scrappy," said Stricker, who went on to make five birdies. "I didn't hit a couple good irons to start with, but then the middle of my front nine there and then to the other side, I played really well."
Stricker started on the back side and closed with birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 to turn in 34. He made a 6-footer at No. 17 and a 16-foot from the fringe at the 18th. Stricker also birdied two of his last three holes on the front -- making a 25-footer at No. 7 and a 15-footer at the ninth.
"I finished strong," Stricker acknowledged. "I made a couple nice putts coming in. ... So good way to finish, two good, tough holes and make birdies, it's like stealing a couple shots."
The 67 was Stricker's career low at Firestone where his best finish in two previous starts was a tie for 41st in 2007. He's primed to improve on that this week, and he thinks the South Course is a perfect place to get ready for the upcoming PGA at Hazeltine National.
"This is almost a similar style golf course to what we're going to be playing next week, old style golf course with big trees and narrow fairways," Stricker explained.
The six-time PGA TOUR winner has other things on his mind, too. Stricker currently ranks second in the FedExCup race -- overtaken by Tiger Woods with his victory last week. He finished second to Woods in the FedExCup in 2007 and was 14th last year.
"It's been good (to me)," Stricker acknowledged. "Hopefully I'll have a good finish to the season and then a good Playoffs and have a chance in that last tournament. That's all you really want to do is have an opportunity in that last one.
"So hopefully that all pans out and I'll keep playing well." -- Helen Ross

CLARK INTERVIEW (4:25 p.m.): Tim Clark, as noted earlier, doesn't exactly have what you'd call a stellar record at Firestone. Other than a top-6 two years ago, he has just one finish in the top 45 here.
Part of the reason is that the course doesn't set up particularly well for Clark.
"I actually used to get quite frustrated around here because I felt like I'd hit a lot of good tee shots and the ball would just kick off into the rough," Clark said after his 66 this morning. "I think the rough used to be a lot thicker here and that made it really tough for a guy like me. If the ball was running off the fairway by a foot or two, we had no shot. Whereas now the way the rough is set up, you can just miss the fairways, which you do here because the fairways are kind of crowned, you still have a shot to get it up around the green."
That's an excellent point by Clark. Despite hitting just nine fairways on Thursday, he hit 15 of 18 greens in regulation. And that's helped him get over the mental block of paying well here, too.
"I used to cry about being there and said I should go to Reno and play," Clark said. "I think when I had that good result everyone laughed at me and said, stop complaining now. I come in here with a different attitude." -- Brian Wacker
MORE ON MICKELSON (4:10 p.m.): Phil Mickelson certainly wasn't satisfied with his round of 70. He was pleased with the way he turned things around, though, after shooting 3 over the back, which was his first nine holes.
Mickelson was near flawless on the front -- making three birdies and a clutch par save on the ninth hole when his tee shot sailed left and he had to make a 13-footer for par. He was just four strokes off the lead when he finished under cloudy skies early Thursday afternoon.
"I'll take even par," the world No. 2 said. "I was tentative starting out, made a couple of dumb mistakes, missed some shorts putts, and then the last eight holes I played some good golf. I hit some good shots.
"I made some good putts and got it back to even par, which was critical for me because there's a low round out here. You can shoot 6-, 7-, 8-under par, but if I come in at 3-, 4-over today, that round of 6-, 7-, 8-under, it's just going to get me back to the middle of the field. Now, if I can shoot that tomorrow, I can move right up the leaderboard."
Mickelson is playing for the first time since tying for second at the U.S. Open six weeks ago. In the interim both his wife and mother had surgery for breast cancer. They are doing so well, though, that Mickelson has decided to play the next three weeks.
He has been practicing in earnest for about two weeks now. He didn't hit his driver as well as he did back home in California but his instructor, Butch Harmon, is here in Akron. Mickelson planned to work things out on the range Thursday afternoon.
The most gratifying thing about his performance Thursday is the way he was able to shake the rust off and get back in the groove.
"I think you get into playing a little bit and you realize that you can't play swinging afraid or swinging tentative," Mickelson said. "I started to trust my swing. I started to make more aggressive shots and ended up giving myself a few birdie chances and made those." -- Helen Ross
STENSON BACK IN STRIDE (4 p.m.): Henrik Stenson came out of the scorer's trailer at Firestone Country Club a happy man. He'd just put the finishing touches on a round of 69 that included four birdies.
"(This is) by far the best I've played since winning THE PLAYERS," the Swede said.
Stenson's been working with his instructor Pete Cowan for the past few days and the practice sessions are paying dividends. He was particularly pleased with his putting, and Stenson felt he only hit one bad shot all day.
"I feel like I'm getting somewhere and feels like the game is starting to turn in the right direction," Stenson said. "... It was a lot of high quality golf shots and good putts and a few didn't go in.
"You know, when that's the case, you can always leave the course pleased with the day's work. And yeah, I'm going to try to plod away. Obviously if I can find a bit of form this week coming into next week, I'm very happy."
Stenson tends to come up big in the marquee events -- witness his victories at THE PLAYERS and the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. He is a big fan of the South Course at Firestone where he's had two top-20 finishes.
"It plays differently this year," Stenson said. "... Just it seemed like they had a lot of rain before we came in, so it's playing softer. So it plays longer off the tee, and some of the putts have been a little bit slower than we're used to. But still, when you're above the hole and it's downhill and downgrain, it's very slick.
"It's a fabulous golf course, it's definitely one of the top five of the year, I'd say. This is my fifth year here, and I love coming back." -- Helen Ross
CASEY INJURY UPDATE (3:46 p.m.): Paul Casey withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational on Thursday after pulling a muscle in his ribcage. The No. 3 player in the world had completed six holes and was even par.
Casey initially suffered the injury the week before the U.S. Open while practicing with his driver. He played through the pain, however, and said he spent the last couple of weeks trying to rest it. Monday, though, he re-injured it while hitting out of the rough during a practice round at Firestone.
"It got worse and worse," Casey told GOLF CHANNEL. "It's going to take time to fix it. I have no idea what the prognosis is. It could be 2-4 weeks to heal fully.
"I've got to be careful because there's a lot of important golf left. You know, FedExCup, Race to Dubai, a lot of big stuff. ... It just felt so bad. It was fine when I teed off, but as it cooled down -- we've got a cool day in Akron today. And standing on the range when it's nice and warm it's not too bad, but as soon as you get out there and it cools down and you've got to use the rest of the body to get the golf ball moving, it doesn't really feel good."
Casey said he'll stick around for the next 2-3 days to get treatment to try to heal it. He will receive 80th-place money, but it is unofficial. He does not receive any FedExCup points. -- Helen Ross and Brian Wacker
POULTER PLAYING WELL (3:35 p.m.): We haven't seen Ian Poulter since the British Open, where he missed the cut with rounds of 75-79. It's been a different story today for Poulter, though, with four birdies and no bogeys on his way to playing his first 12 holes in 4 under.
Poulter's best finish in the Bridgestone Invitational is a tie for 13th (twice, most recently in 2006). He also tied for 16th last year. His best finish this year was a runner-up at THE PLAYERS Championship. Poulter has a history of playing well in big events and this week appears to be no different, so far anyway.
It must have been all the rest he got after watching season 2 of the popular HBO series Entourage. This from Poulter's Twitter (@ianjamespoulter) account last night: "teeing off at 12.48 2morrow, i feel another entourage night coming on, i need to get thru season 2. feels great to have my iphone sorted now"

TIGER UPDATE (3:25 p.m.): Tiger Woods is halfway through his opening round here at Firestone, where he's seeking a seventh career Bridgestone Invitational title. So far, it's been a sort of ho-hum round for Woods. He's even par after one birdie, one bogey and seven pars. You can attribute most of that to missed fairways and missed greens -- Woods has hit four and five of them, respectively. What's saved him is a good short game and a solid putter with just 14 putts so far, though he hasn't made anything over 10 feet.
Now let's see what Woods does on the back nine, which is playing nearly a half-stroke more difficult with a par-5 (No. 16) that Woods might not even be able to reach in two given its length of 667 yards. -- Brian Wacker
FISHER AND FATHERHOOD (3:15 p.m.): Ross Fisher didn't exactly come to Firestone Country Club well-prepared. He had a good excuse, though -- his daughter, Eve Rose, was finally born on July 25.
A week earlier, the 28-year-old Englishman had entered the final round of the 138th Open Championship one stroke off the lead but vowing to leave Turnberry if his wife went into labor.
Fisher actually seized the lead that Sunday with birdies on his first two holes only to see his hopes dashed with a quadruple bogey on the fifth hole. He went on to tie for 13th and Eve Rose waited another seven days to enter the world.
So Fisher has spent the last week adjusting to being a first-time father. He managed just two days of practice so his even-par 70 in the first round of the Bridgestone Invitational was none too shabby given the circumstances.
"It was a decent start but it was a bit frustrating," Fisher said. "I felt like I played really good for my front nine but just couldn't get anything going on the greens, didn't hole anything.
"Then I hooked a drive up the first almost in the water and hit a shocking 3-wood into the second and I walked off with a par and a birdie. So it was a little bit of a strange day to be honest but level par is a decent start."
Fisher, who tied for 30th that the Masters and fifth at the U.S. Open, is also playing next week at the PGA Championship. Then he'll have three weeks off to be with his new family.
"It is awesome," Fisher said. "It is a truly amazing experience, something I'd recommend to any male. We are having great fun. I've only been with her just over a week but even now it is really cool and amazing. It was tough to leave her and Jo but thankfully Jo's mum has moved in for a couple of weeks so she has got family support there.
"It is tough but this is my job and what I have chosen to do and Jo is happy with that. I am missing her and she is missing me but it is only two weeks and then after that I have three weeks off to look forward to." -- Helen Ross
CASEY WDs (3:05 p.m.): Paul Casey, who won for the first time on the PGA TOUR earlier this year at the Shell Houston Open, has withdrawn from the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational after just seven holes today. Casey was even par when he pulled out with one birdie, one bogey and four pars. -- Brian Wacker

WESTWOOD'S WILD FRONT NINE (2:30 p.m.): After a slow start -- specifically a double bogey on the first hole, where he hit his tee shot out of bounds -- Lee Westwood has more than righted the ship with five birdies over his last six holes. That moves him to 3 under and within a shot of the clubhouse lead.
The birdie barrage began on No. 2, where he hit it to just inside 11 feet and made the putt. The next hole, Westwood hit it even closer on his approach with a shot to inside 3 1/2 feet. After a par on the par-3 fifth, Westwood dialed in another iron shot, leaving himself 4 feet on No. 6. Westwood's next two approach shots were also within 5 feet and resulted in two more birdies.
It's unlikely Westwood is going to break or even challenge the course record of 61, but if he keeps this up, he'll be at the top of the leaderboard very soon. You can follow Westwood's round live with Shot Tracker by clicking here. -- Brian Wacker
WELCOME BACK, PHIL (2:15 p.m.): In the span of nine holes, Phil Mickelson's round went from bad to very solid. That's what a few birdies, not to mention the rhythm of playing again, will do. As a result, Mickelson went from 3 over through 10 holes to an even-par 70 thanks to three birdies over his last eight holes.
"I started to trust my swing and take more aggressive shots," Mickelson told GOLF CHANNEL afterward. That's something Mickelson wasn't over his first nine holes when he made a double bogey and a bogey on his way to a 38 on Firestone's back nine. "I got off to a shaky start and didn't commit to a lot of shots."
On the day, Mickelson only hit 5 of 14 fairways, but once he got things going the right direction he was able to hit 11 of 18 greens in regulation with 28 putts.
The bigger story is that Mickelson is back and that means things are good on the home front with his wife, Amy, and mother, Mary, battling breast cancer and things progressing well in their treatments.
"I was excited to get back out and play," Mickelson said. "I missed [competing] more than I thought I would." -- Brian Wacker
Below is a look at Mickelson's scorecard from today:
IN CINK (1:55 p.m.): Stewart Cink isn't showing any sort of British Open hangover. Cink is 2 under through his first six holes today after making birdie on each of his first two holes today. The British Open champ, playing for the first time since hoisting the Claret Jug, rolled in a 14-footer on the par-4 first, then followed with a 23-footer on the par-5 second. Since then it's been all pars for Cink, but it's clear, at least so far, that Cink could be building on that momentum of a British Open win, rather than seeing his golfer suffer as a result of all the extracurriculars that go with it. Follow Cink's round live with Shot Tracker by clicking here. -- Brian Wacker
EARLY BIRDIE (1:42 p.m.): That didn't take long -- Tiger Woods already has his first birdie of the day, getting up-and-down from a greenside bunker on the par-5 second. That brings Woods to 1 under after he rolled in the 9-footer. If he gets the putter going, look out. Remember, it was less than a week ago that Woods poured in a 63 with some great ballstriking and a hot putter. -- Brian Wacker
TIGER TEES OFF (1:30 p.m.): Tiger Woods is on the golf course, having teed off a little while ago before opening with a par on the first hole at Firestone.
Woods has won this event six times and of those six times, he's failed to break 70 just once, in 2000 when he opened with a 71. That said, Woods has never really gone particularly low in the first round here, either. His lowest opening-day score at Firestone was a 66 in 2001 (he went on to win). His highest? That 71 in 2000.
All that adds up to a career first-round scoring average of about 67.2. If Woods shoots that today, he'll be right where he needs to be with the early leaders, Prayad Marksaeng and Tim Clark, at 4 under. (To follow Woods' round live with Shot Tracker, click here.) -- Brian Wacker
BIG NAMES IN BIG TROUBLE (1:10 p.m.): Adam Scott isn't the only notable player struggling today at Firestone. Rory McIlroy is 4 over through his first 15 holes, while Lee Westwood is already 2 over through just two holes after hitting his tee shot on the first hole out of bounds and making double bogey. Phil Mickelson got off to a slow start, playing his first nine holes in 3 over, but has since brought it back to 1 over with four holes left in his round. -- Brian Wacker
SCOTT'S STRUGGLES CONTINUE (1 p.m.): You can't help but wonder if Adam Scott isn't trying to talk himself into playing well right now. He's said on more than one occasion that he's felt good about his game and his mind, but the results just haven't shown that.
Since returning from a two-month hiatus -- partly taken to recover from a knee injury, partly to help clear his head -- early in the season, Scott has made just four cuts with a tie for 36th at the U.S. Open his best finish in a stroke-play event. That's eight missed cuts in 12 events for those of you scoring at home with Scott missing a career-worst six in a row at one point.
Scott is undergoing some swing changes as well, but it seems those changes haven't taken hold, even if Scott continues to talk about how good he and his game feel. Today, he's 7 over with nine bogeys and one birdie with one hole to play. -- Brian Wacker
MARKSAENG ON THE MARK (12:40 p.m.): Much like his opening round at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship, Pryad Marksaeng is off to a good start at another World Golf Championships event at 5 under with one hole to play.
Marksaeng had gotten to as low as 6 under today before giving a shot back with a bogey on the par-4 eighth (his 17th hole of the day). There's nothing that jumps out at you about Marksaeng's round -- he's hit just 7 of 13 fairways and 12 of 17 greens in regulation with 24 putts -- but he's just finding a way to score. -- Brian Wacker
MICKELSON OFF TO SLOW START (12:10 p.m.): In his first start since finishing second at the U.S. Open, Phil Mickelson is struggling this morning, playing his first 10 holes (he started on the back at Firestone) in 3 over (click here to follow his round live with Shot Tracker).
Mickelson, of course, took the last month of so off to be with his wife and moth, both of whom are battling breast cancer. The news on their fight has been good, however, freeing up Mickelson to return to playing.
"The first three or four weeks, I didn't really play, but the last couple of weeks as things have gotten better, I've been able to practice a little bit," Mickelson said yesterday. "I won't know exactly [where my game is at] until I play, but I'm optimistic."
Unfortunately, optimism and reality can sometimes be two different things. The last time Mickelson took a significant amount of time off -- between THE PLAYERS Championship and the St. Jude Classic presented by FedEx when his wife was first diagnosed -- he returned in Memphis only to finish in a tie for 59th.
Today, Mickelson has hit just 3 of 8 fairways and 5 of 10 greens in regulation. The far more important news, though, is that Mickelson's wife and mom are faring better these days. Now Mickelson will just have to fare a little better in today's round. -- Brian Wacker
CLARK AN EARLY CONTENDER (11:45 a.m.): Thanks to a front-nine 32 at Firestone in the still very early first round, Tim Clark has moved into contention (click here to follow his round live with Shot Tracker).
Clark started strong with three birdies in his first five holes, then added another one at No. 10. So far, Clark is doing it with all sorts of accuracy, hitting 6 of 8 fairways, 8 of 10 greens in regulation and taking just 14 putts (good for third in the field right now).
Clark doesn't have an outstanding record here, though he did finish in a tie for sixth in 2007 and in a tie for 20th last year, but he does have some close calls this year, including at Colonial, where he lost in a playoff. He was also top-10 at THE PLAYERS Championship, finished in a tie for 13th at the Masters and was top-10 at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match-Play Championship. -- Brian Wacker
IS IT KIM'S TIME? (11:25 a.m.): Last year, Anthony Kim played some of his best golf of the year after June. He's doing the same this season with top-16 finishes in four of his last five starts, including a pair of third-place finishes at the AT&T National and the RBC Canadian Open.
Kim doesn't tee off until 12:59 p.m., but he was hitting great when they left the course yesterday.
This is only Kim's second trip to Firestone, where he tied for 36th last year, and he doesn't have a great track record in World Golf Championship events with an early exit at the Accenture Match-Play Championship and a 58th-place finish at the CA Championship, but both of those came when he was less than healthy.
"I'm definitely starting to play a little bit better," Kim said. "I'm getting my confidence back. It's probably from hanging out at the First Tee. (Laughter)."
Kim, as was announced earlier this week is partnering with the First Tee (click here for more), a perfect fit given his own youthful exuberance.
"My swagger is back," said Kim. "I'm firing at a couple less pins, which is helping my score, firing away from the water, which is always good. I'm starting to find that rhythm again." -- Brian Wacker
EARLY LEADERS (11 a.m.): The early leader at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational is Prayad Marksaeng, who is 4 under thorough his first nine holes, having played the back at Firestone in 31 after making four birdies in his first five holes.
Marksaeng, who has five top-10s on the Asian Tour this year, bogeyed the par-4 13th, one of the hardest holes on the golf course, but bounced back with a birdie on his next hole before adding one more on the 18th.
Like so many players who come from other tours around the world, Marksaeng's story is an interesting one. Long before he finished in a tie for 15th at last year's PGA Championship, Marksaeng took up golf in his native Hua Hin, Thailand, where his first club was made with bamboo and a piece of scrap metal. Marksaeng, though, also fell in with the wrong crowd as a youth, he says, and is lucky to have come out the other end.
Since then, Marksaeng has gone on to recording some impressive results, including a win at the 2007 Volvo Masters of Asia to go with five other Asian Tour victories in his career. He also played well in another World Golf Championships event earlier this year, the CA Championship, where he opened with a 65 before finishing in a tie for 13th. -- Brian Wacker
BACK TO WORK (10:45 a.m.): What Tiger Woods took away from his win at last week's Buick Open we won't know for about 2 hours from now, when he tees off at 1:10 p.m. But if there's one thing we do know, Woods plays well here -- he's won six times at Firestone -- and knows how to manage his game when it's not at it's best.
"It was about missing the golf ball in the correct spots," Woods said yesterday about his week at Warwick Hills. "I didn't hit all the greens, I didn't hit all the fairways, but if you go back and analyze how I played, I missed it in the correct spots every time. And that's something I didn't do prior to that."
The upside to that is Firestone, much like Warwick Hills, has a lot of parallel fairways, so if Woods had to, he could play up another hole, the way he did in Michigan, and still get the job done. Having won here six times, Woods also knows what those correct spots to miss in are at Firestone.
"Ever since I was a little boy, my dad and I would always play tree-lined golf courses where it's the older style of golf course, not elephant burial grounds," Woods said. "They're just straightforward right in front of you. I've always loved golf courses like that. We don't get a chance to play too many golf courses like that, and that's one of the reasons why guys like playing here, like playing Quail Hollow, Riviera." -- Brian Wacker
