Pic/AFP Reigning US Open champion McIlroy, playing with a bandage on his right arm to ease the pain of a strained wrist tendon, started off the 10th tee with a bogey but responded with birdies at the par-5 12th and par-3 16th. But just as the 22-year-old Northern Irish prodigy cracked par, he wound up taking a 6 on the par-3 17th and making the turn at Atlanta Athletic Club two-over for the year's final major tournament. McIlroy was injured Thursday when he struck a tree root with his second shot on the third hole, but played through the pain for an opening-round par-70. Stricker, who matched a major tournament record by firing a seven-under 63 on Thursday to seize the lead, and countryman Jerry Kelly, his pal and nearest rival at 65, were set to be among the last to tee off yesterday. Then there was the dismal showing by Tiger Woods, who opened with a 77 to stand 14 strokes off the pace, sharing 129th and in jeopardy of missing the cut for only the third time at a major. , Woods, who is a 14-time major champion, was among the late starters yesterday. ufffd
