.:.	Couples makes the most of his chance Fred Couples didn't realize until a few months ago that he wasn't eligible for The Players Championship, an event he has won twice and counts among his favorite. Couples missed nearly all of last year with back problems, so he wasn't among the top 125 on the money list. But with so many players pulling out, from Tiger Woods to Martin Kaymer of Germany, Couples kept moving up the alternate list until he got in. He made the most out of his 25th start at Sawgrass.

.:.	Wie sits 12 shots back in first action since Feb. The booming drives were there, but more often than not, Michelle Wie didn't know where they were going in her first round on the LPGA Tour since February. The best scores, as usual, belonged to just about everyone else - a course record-tying 63 by Scotland's Mhairi McKay, and a potential battle looming between Lorena Ochoa and Annika Sorenstam in the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill.

.:.	Illness forces Masters champ out of Players Masters champion Trevor Immelman withdrew Thursday morning from The Players Championship because of an illness, leaving the PGA Tour's flagship event without the last two major champions. Tour officials did not have details on Immelman's illness, saying only he had already returned to Orlando. Since winning the Masters by three shots over Tiger Woods, Immelman has had a tough time.

The 609th-ranked Daly, who hasn't finished in the top 10 of a tournament in three years, rebounded from missing the cut at last week's Spanish Open by carding a 67 behind seven birdies and two bogeys. He briefly held the lead after hitting six birdies and a bogey on the first 10 holes. Source: Fox Sports
