Woods and Mickelson level but trailing

After wildly contrasting starts Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson ended honours even in the opening round of the US PGA championship in Chicago today – but now they have some catching up to do.

The world number one and number two, going head-to-head in a major for only the third time, both returned three under par 69s at Medinah Country Club, as did playing partner Geoff Ogilvy.
