Tiger cards first-round 2-under 70 at Memorial

DUBLIN, Ohio - Without doing much, Tiger Woods managed to do enough Thursday during the first round of the Memorial Tournament to shoot under par, stay in touch with leader Ryan Moore, while giving himself something to build on.

Playing just his second tournament since winning the Masters but coming off a missed cut at the PGA Championship, Woods made three late birdies to shoot 2-under-par 70 at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

"It was close to being easily a few more under par,'' said Woods, who has won the Memorial five times but hasn't opened the tournament with a score in the 70s in 10 years.
