Toms comes out firing

Awww, so sad. Defending champion Tiger Woods is not playing in the Wachovia Championship. His knee surgery is keeping him out until June, and so the fans around Charlotte will just have to make due with the other professionals. Oh wait...what? David Toms is playing in the tournament? Did he win this at one time? Oh yeah! He did! 2003!

Toms brought back vivid memories in a hurry, as he came out of the gate in the first round with eight birdies and carding a 67 to lead the tournament. I don't want to make it sound like no one is there--that was said tongue in cheek--because 18 of the world's top 25 are indeed playing this event, which makes Toms' round and leading the pack even more of a huge thing. Toms has self-admittedly been playing poorly for a while, and this was his best round in a long time.

Phil Mickelson is playing in the Wachovia, his first tournament since the Masters. He sported a brand new shiny putter and looked pretty decent out there, reporting little to no problems with his back due to a new fitness stretching program. This tournament should prove to be very exciting--even without Mr. Woods.
