A Golfer v a Goose
Sergio Carcia and Michael Thompson are tied for the lead at the Honda Classic after Round one. By James Taylor
Both men shot opening rounds of 65 while Rickie Fowler was in second place with fellow American Willian McGirt at four under par.
Here are some of the best moments from today's opening round.
Phil Mickelson was part of the group who was out early and certainly played the course at it's toughest, Phil shot a round of 69 which was pretty good going considering the conditions early on.
It was only the second hole when Sergio bombed his approach from 148 yards for eagle.
Garcia then found himslef in a spot of bother when he had to lay up from alligator, infested water.
Rickie Fowler then scrambled his par at the 10th keeping himself in contention.
