The Open Championship:(ESPN) ST. ANDREWS, Scotland The place has been so good to Tiger Woods was especially benevolent Thursday for him and all those who were able to take advantage.

Woods shot 5-under par 67 on the Old Course, matching his first round score of 2005 and only one more than when he won the Open Championship in 2000.

It is a good start to the Open champion three times, seeking his fifteenth major championship, but the first victory this year.

And yet, Rory McIlroy is four shots and trailed by several other names seen above yours in the standings.

With the conditions we had to go for it, Woods said. We had to use it. I felt I did a good job today, and let the round of maturity. Most of the boys were under soon, although I was not, and I said, just let the round maturity, just keep holding on and keep plugging along, and could have been a pretty good lap today.

Despite missing several opportunities early in his round, Woods remained patient, getting his second putt for birdie to fall in the seventh and played his final 12 holes in 4 under par.

There is no need for force, said Woods. Just go ahead and just take advantage of the holes, and just because Im a low does not mean that I have to force things. I had a lot of holes left, but the conditions were benign and only go ahead and get it done. And it happened.

He made only one bogey for the day, hit 14 of its 16 streets and 17-of-18 greens.

The use of a new putter for the first time in 11 years, Woods needed 32 putts all over the Old Course a number that might be a bit misleading as it drove the par-4 12th hole and two putts for birdie and called the par-14 in two and two-putted for birdie-5.

Im in good shape, said Woods, who played several groups ahead of John Daly, who bolted to the top of the leaderboard early and settled with a 66 and McIlroy, who tied a major championship by shooting 63 . I took advantage of a golf course when I had to take advantage of it. At this moment, we are on the right side of the draw, but I can not tomorrow. I mean, time is supposed to come here at 11 [am ], but no time, so well see.

After a nasty on Wednesday, conditions were calm throughout the morning and never as bad as predicted. After noon, there were occasional rain and wind much more, but still a day to go low.

Woods ran into trouble when his tee shot on the Road Hole, the par-4 17, was left rough. From there, he was able to move the ball toward the front of the green, but missed a 4-footer that would have saved par.

Then at the par-4 final hole, Woods drove his tee shot short of the ditch known as the Valley of Sin. His putt from off the green came up short, then missed the putt for birdie.

Woods is trying to become the first player to win three times in the main championship spot (with the exception of Augusta National Masters) since Harry Vardon won his third Open Championship at Prestwick in 1914.

Woods won the 2000 Open here by eight strokes and the 2005 Open by five shots. He also won in 2006 at Royal Liverpool in England.

This is just seventh tournament of the year and Woods has not played this tournament throughout the world, many in a season without a win since 2001.

Hes playing golf right now intense, said Justin Rose, who recently won twice on the PGA Tour and playing with Woods. You see that is intense and motivated. I do not think that has changed.

Us News:A Texas mayor and her teenage daughter were found shot to death at their home on Tuesday night, and police are investigating it as a possible murder-suicide, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Police found Coppell Mayor Jayne Peters, 55, and Corrine Peters, 19, both shot in the head after council members became worried the mayor did not show up to a meeting.

Cops didnt find any evidence of forced entry.

At this point all we can really say is the investigation is just not complete, Logan told the newspaper. There are a lot of things we need to look at.

Peters had been mayor of Coppell a city with a population of about 40,000 just 15 miles northwest of Dallas since 2009. She also served on the city council for more than a decade and was a contract software developer.

Peters and her daughter, who graduated high school in May, were active in their community and church.

Whoa, whoa, whoa what happened here? YouTube is down, just like Netflix was a couple of hours ago. Im not saying that the Netflix outage is related in any way with the YouTube outage, but what are going to watch if two of the most important video websites in the world are down? At the moment users trying to access YouTube are welcomed by a so-called 502 server error, and embedded videos dont work either.

Its not the first time YouTube is down and were not hoping that it will be the last time, but Google should do something to keep the outages at a minimum because a lot of people depend on the video sharing website. The last time this happened was on March 25th this year when users were receiving an Error Http/1.1 Service Unavailable system error.

Yet again this outage might not be global and for some YouTube might work as it should. Anyway let us know if YouTube is down for you and what are you doing in the meantime to lure the boredom.

The All-Star Game, which will turn 80 in three years, may have outlived its usefulness.

Created in 1933 during the Depression to boost interest in baseball during tough economic times, the game has become a caricature of itself. Forced to mean something by the “this time it counts” edict from Bud Selig, the result, as you know, determines home field advantage in the World Series.

This is, of course, ridiculous, especially in an era when one league (the AL) is clearly dominant. The National League hasn’t won this game since 1996, although the last four games have all been decided by one run and one of them (2008) went 15 innings.

Now, the rosters have been expanded to the point where just about everyone better than Ryan Theriot is on one of the teams, pitchers selected can’t participate if they threw on Sunday, and one designated player can return to the game after leaving if his manager runs out of players.

So how about something different? It’s still not a bad idea to have a three or four day break midseason, but what about a different sort of exhibition game? Do a USA vs. the World game, like the futures game. Have an abbreviated World Baseball Classic during this week. Anything else, because this game has become almost laughable.

The World Series home field advantage should go to the team with the better record. And don’t give me the nonsense about hotel rooms. The NBA and NHL do it, and with far less notice — often, they don’t even know the dates until the previous series ends. World Series dates are set a year in advance.

Wake up, Bud. Just because your lack of leadership made the 2002 game in your hometown end in a tie, doesn’t mean this can’t be made right.

I am not sure how many comments tonight’s game will generate — so I’ll post TWO overflow threads, one at 8:30 pm CDT and the second at 9:45 pm CDT.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

The 36 year-old Michigan mom, Aimee Louise Sword, who was married and lived with her husband and five children, pleaded guilty to having sex with a 14 year-old boy, who is her own biological son she gave up for adoption. Aimee L. Sword faces nine to thirty years in jail.

When she saw this boy, something just touched off in herand it wasnt a mother-son relationship, it was a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Swords attorney, Mitchell Ribitwer, said. Aimees searching for a reason why this happened. She cant understand it.

Aimee found her teen son, who is no 16 years old, on the Internet via Facebook back in 2008 after she missed an annual update from his adoptive family in Grand Rapids. The adoptive parents even gave the boy permission to stay with his biological mother at the Grand Rapids hotel and at her home since they did not know what was going on between.

The mother claims she only had sex with her son once and apologized during her sentence in Oakland County Circuit Court on Monday (July 12). Aimees secret was revealed during a conversation her son had with a counselor.

Dont mess with Chad Ochocinco.Thats the message the Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver sent to over 980,000 Twitter followers when he tweeted about a fight he got into with a bouncer Sunday night.

Damn I just got in a fight with the bouncer, them damn boxing sessions got me on point, at least the police let me keep tweetin n the car? Ochocinco tweeted around midnight from an unidentified club.

But the brawl didnt seem to put a damper on the Dancing with the Stars contestants trip to the Big Apple.

Aww man NYPD is so awesome, he wrote. We are all headed to Starbucks after we drop the bouncer off at the police station for assault on me.

Ochocinco, who claims to have not been allowed into the club without identification, gave a bizarre shoutout to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell before returning to the club with 3 NYPD officers poppin bottles of cranberry n red bull.

Dad everything is ok here in NY, I have the situation under control, Ochocinco tweeted to @nflcommish. I turned the other cheek but he kept provoking me, thanks.

NYPD officials did not have any details concerning the incident or the arrest.

Expets and Polls Show Increased Concern About Threats of Domestic Terror, Militia Groups and the “Lone Wolf”.

(CBS) Fifteen years ago today, Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck filled with explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history.

But how much safer are we now?

In the fifteen years since the Oklahoma City bombing, reports CBS News homeland security correspondent Bob Orr, we’ve seen other attacks by domestic extremists: The shootings at Fort Hood last fall, and the deliberate crash in February of a small plane into an IRS building in Texas are two examples.
