SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - World number one Luke Donald made a disastrous start to the U.S. Open on Thursday, leaving his hopes of winning his first major in tatters after a nine-over-par 79.

Donald finished with the same score as 14-year-old Chinese qualifier Andy Zhang who was so nervous in his major debut that he was trembling on the first tee; and only 13 players shot worse. ...

Unlike last year, when he romped to victory with a record-breaking total of 16-under-par at Congressional, the Northern Irishman struggled all day. He made eight bogeys, including three in his last four holes, and just one birdie to leave himself with a battle just to make the cut, let alone retain his title.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The electricity was back as Tiger Woods moved into once familiar territory on Thursday, clawing his way into contention with a one-under-par 69 in tough scoring conditions to lie three shots off the U.S. Open lead. As the year's second major lived up to its reputation as the toughest championship of all, the former world number one mixed three birdies with two bogeys to finish the first round three behind fellow American Michael Thompson at the Olympic Club. "I played well today," three-times champion Woods told reporters after breaking 70 in the opening round of a U. ...
