THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- K.J. Choi opened with five straight birdies. Tiger Woods looked as good as he did in Australia, making his fourth birdie with a 3-iron to an elevated green on the par-5 fifth that covered the flag. And then, without warning, the wind showed up Thursday in the foothills of Sherwood Country Club. Choi held his own in gusts up to 30 m.p.h. and finished with a 6-under 66, giving him a three-shot lead over Woods and Steve Stricker in the Chevron World Challenge. They were the only three players to break 70 in the 18-man field in the final official event in America this year. "Anything under par is a good day today with the wind up," said Woods, a four-time winner of this event and the tournament host. "If the wind stayed down, youre going to have to shoot probably 68 or below for it to be a good score." Five of the six players who broke par -- Jim Furyk, Nick Watney and Rickie Fowler were at 71 -- had most recently played at blustery Royal Melbourne in the Presidents Cup. Choi figures he had even a greater advantage. He lives in Dallas. "I was used to playing in the windy conditions, not only playing in Melbourne, but also living in Dallas, where theres 20- to 30-mile wind every other day," Choi said. "Im used to practicing in those conditions. Ive become very comfortable in those windy conditions." The notorious Santa Ana wind was in the forecast, with some projections of 60 m.p.h. gusts. But when the elite field arrived at Sherwood, there was not even a breeze. Woods and Stricker birdied the opening two holes with relative ease. Woods added another birdie on No. 4 with a 25-foot putt, and then came his 3-iron from 229 yards to 18 feet for an eagle attempt that burned the edge. He was standing on the sixth green, 15 feet behind the hole, when a big gust backed Woods off his putt and scattered leaves raced across the fairway behind him. On the next hole, Stricker was staring over an iron shot that was drawing right at the flag. A strong gust swatted the ball out of the sky and dropped it 20 feet short of the green into the deep rough. Watney was motoring along at 2 under when he had a birdie putt on the 14th. He addressed the ball, backed off and watched it move, costing him a one-shot penalty. A new rule that would eliminate the penalty stroke if deemed that the wind moved the ball after address is not effective until Jan. 1. Watney took a positive out of that bogey. "I might be the last player in history to be penalized under that rule," he said. "That could be a trivia question one day." Best that he not hold his breath on that one. Jason Day was among the leaders until the wind gobbled up his approach on the par-5 16th, leading to double bogey. Then he hit into the trees on the par-3 17th and injured his right thumb trying to play out of the mess. He made another double bogey, and then finished with a bogey for a 74. Matt Kuchar, coming off a World Cup win with Gary Woodland in China, was 4 under until he made triple bogey on the 16th, bogeyed the 17th and had to settle for a 72. Woods also made a bogey on the 16th after popping up a tee shot and running into trouble with his attempt to lay up. Earlier on the ninth hole, he had a nasty lie on the side of a hill with a large branch in his way, and he moved the ball only about 10 yards. But those were the rare mistakes. He looked very steady for nine rounds in the wind in Australia. In more gusts at Sherwood, he didnt look much differently. He was in control of his irons and even when he did miss off the tee, it wasnt by much. "It looks like hes getting a lot of confidence back again," Stricker said. "It looks like the Tiger of old, really, and its great to see. We need him out there playing, and playing well." Stricker hit a superb shot on the 10th with the wind at his back. After hitting driver that left him an awkward yardage -- about 50 yards to a front pin -- he nipped a wedge that just carried onto the green and checked up 3 feet away. He birdied the 18th to join Woods in second place, although Woods will be in the final group Friday with Choi. Choi, even though he was three groups behind Woods, saw enough of him in the opening round. The fourth and fifth holes go in opposite direction of the second and third holes, and what Choi saw caught his attention, particularly the 3-iron that Woods hit on No. 5. "I think he is really 80, 90 per cent back to his form again," Choi said. Im very happy about playing with him tomorrow. Tiger is a good friend. Hes got a very strong will. Hes got the right mental attitude right now, and I think its going to be a very fun day tomorrow. "I watched him play a couple of holes today, and I was very impressed at the way he was swinging, at his rhythm, at the power he had," Choi said. "It almost seemed like watching the old Tiger back in the day." cheap jerseys . As many as 15 teams were in the mix for the 24-year-olds services.

LOUIS -- Jake Westbrook bounded out of the dugout for the ninth inning before manager Mike Matheny could change his mind. The right-hander quickly finished off a five-hitter for his first shutout in more than six years, backed by four home runs in the St. Louis Cardinals 10-0 rout over the Cincinnati Reds Wednesday. "He was making a statement," Matheny said. "He wanted to make sure he gave the appearance he was ready to go. What a great day for him." Westbrook (1-1) hasnt allowed an earned run in 15 2-3 innings this season, although he took the loss on an unearned run in a 1-0 setback to Barry Zito in San Francisco in his season debut. He relied heavily on a sinker against the Reds with 16 groundball outs. "It always means a lot when you can finish what you started," Westbrook said. "The ball was in the zone and really moving a lot. I guess I know when Im good is when I get a lot of ground balls." The lineup made a statement, too. Jon Jay, Carlos Beltran and Matt Adams homered in a span of seven at-bats off Homer Bailey as the Cardinals took two of three from the NL Central champions after Cincinnati stunned them with a nine-run ninth in the home opener. "Its a great point about resiliency," Matheny said. "They certainly showed a different brand the last two days." Matt Carpenter added a two-run homer on a four-hit day. Adams homered for the second straight game and added an RBI double and walk. The Cardinals have dominated the Reds at home the last decade, losing just three of 28 series with two splits. They outscored them 15-1 the last two games of the series and the Reds were shut out for the first time in the finale. "I was hoping this would be different this time especially after that first night," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "The thing about it is their pitching really shut us down." Westbrook (1-1) pitched his first shutout since Aug. 9, 2006, against the Angels when he was with Cleveland, and this was his 15th career complete game. He held the Reds hitless in six at-bats with runners in scoring position, and contributed his 11th career RBI with a single in the seventh for St. Louiis final run.dddddddddddd "It was a perfect storm," said Joey Votto, one of the few Reds with much success, going 2 for 3 with a walk. "He didnt surprise us because he definitely has that capability." Bailey (1-1) had gone 23 straight shutout innings -- including his no-hitter against Pittsburgh last season -- before the Cardinals broke open a scoreless game with four runs with two outs in the fifth. "Once they started seeing the ball there toward the end, they hit it," Bailey said. "After watching the film, I missed a spot to Beltran pretty big. The others hit pretty good pitches. They just got ahold of them." Bailey was charged with seven runs in five-plus innings and dropped to 3-8 with a 5.52 ERA against the Cardinals, including 0-4 with a 6.93 ERA at Busch Stadium. Baker pulled Bailey after Pete Kozmas liner struck the pitcher just above his right ankle, with the ball caroming into left field. But Bailey walked off without a limp. "I was trying to wave him off," Bailey said. "It was more because of giving up the rockets that havent really landed yet." The Cardinals advanced only two runners into scoring position in the first four innings and Bailey got two quick outs to start the fifth before running into trouble against the top of the lineup. St. Louis scored 10 runs on 11 hits in the fifth, sixth and seventh off Bailey, Logan Ondrusek and Alfredo Simon. Jays second homer just cleared centre fielder Shin-Soo Choos leaping attempt at the wall. Carpenter followed with a single and Matt Holliday hit an RBI double, prompting a visit from pitching coach Bryan Price. Beltran then hit his first homer of the season on to make it 4-0. Adams hit a two-run homer in the sixth off Bailey. Carpenters two-run shot homer three batters later made it 8-0. NOTES: Jay has 19 career homers, six of them against the Reds. ...
