Shanghai, China (SportsNetwork.com) - Graeme McDowell opened up with a first- round, 5-under 67 on Thursday and he holds a 2-shot lead at the WGC - HSBC Champions. McDowells last victory on the European Tour came at the Alstom Open de France earlier this year, while his latest PGA Tour win was at the 2013 RBC Heritage. Obviously the course played fairly difficult today, said McDowell. The wind direction had switched completely from practice, some of the game plan had switched a little bit and some of the holes were playing pretty long. A big key to this golf course is driving the ball well and I drove it very well today. I think I missed only one fairway, which is very important. The greens are in fantastic shape and I actually putted very well U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer, Rickie Fowler, Brandt Snedeker, Chris Kirk, Tim Clark and Tommy Fleetwood are tied for second at 3-under 69 at Sheshan International Golf Club. Lee Westwood, Louis Oosthuizen, Ian Poulter, Adam Scott, Hyung-sung Kim, Bill Haas, Jordan Spieth, JB Holmes, Henrik Stenson, Jaco Van Zyl and Dawie Van Der Walt are all deadlocked at 2-under 70. McDowell, beginning his first round on the back nine, stormed out of the gate to grab the early lead and he never let go despite a couple miscues down the stretch. The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland quickly got into red numbers with a birdie on the par-4 first. Following a pair of pars on 11 and 12, McDowell drained four birdies in a five-hole stretch from No. 13, with a par coming on 15. After making the turn at 5-under with a par on 18, McDowell kept going strong with another par on one followed by a pair of gains on two and three. At 7- under through 12 holes, McDowell finally began to slow down as he dropped his first shot on the par-4 fourth. After a trio of pars from No. 5, McDowell bogeyed his second hole at eight, dropping him back to minus-5. He finished with a par at No. 9 to end there. Seven-under par through 12 holes was a beautiful start, and alghouth I dropped a couple coming in, all in all Im very, very pleased with 5-under par on what I thought was a reasonably tricky day, McDowell said. This is as tough off the tee as I think Ive ever seen this golf course. Kaymer, also playing the back nine first, made the turn at minus-1 after making birdies on 13 and 16 to go along with a bogey on 17. Kaymers second bogey on one dropped him back to even par, but birdies on two and five had him back in red numbers. Kaymer made his third bogey on six, but a pair of birdies on seven and eight got Kaymer to minus-3. He rounded out his day with a par on No. 9. Fowler started off with two straight pars on 10 and 11 followed by another gain on 14. Fowler traded a bogey on 17 for a birdie on 18 to make the turn at minus-3. Birdies on two and eight were canceled out by bogeys on four and seven as Fowler finished his day tied for second at 3-under. Snedeker had a solid front nine with birdies on two and seven. He dropped two shots on the back nine at 12 and 15, but gains on 14, 16 and 18 were good enough to put Snedeker at minus-3 through one round. Kirk made his move up the leaderboard on his first nine with birdies on 10, 14, 16 and 18 to go along with a bogey on 17. Kirk played his final nine at even par with a gain on six and a bogey on five. Fleetwood made the turn at minus-1 following birdies on two and five along with a bogey on six. Fleetwood fell back to even par after a bogey on 10, but he finished strong with three birdies in a four-hole stretch from 13. Clark started off hot with three straight birdies from two, but bogeys on five and seven gave two of those shots back. Another birdie on nine was canceled out by a bogey on 10. Clark then made three birdies in four holes from 13. He also bogeyed 15. NOTES: Of the 80 players to tee off on Thursday, only 27 of them finished the first round under par ...

Dan Monsons 49ers are a well-traveled team, as they have played eight true road games already this season. Unfortunately, Long Beach State is still seeking its first road win on the year and that includes losses in the first five games of this current six-game road trip. It has been a gauntlet that has included powerhouses San Diego State, Texas, St. Johns and most recently, Syracuse. LBSU was no match for the Orange on Sunday, falling to 5-9 on the year with an 85-67 setback. Rick Pitinos Cardinals had their opportunity to knock of the reigning No. 1 team in the land over the weekend, but Louisville came up short against arch- rival Kentucky, losing for the first time in 12 games, with a 58-50 loss at home to the Wildcats. This marks the teams final non-conference game of the season, as it embarks on its first season in the ACC after the New Year. This marks just the second time these two teams have met. The first came in 2011, as Louisville earned a 79-66 victory at home. Long Beach State placed four players in double figures, but it just wasnt enough, as the 49ers were unable to keep pace with the Orange, who shot a ridiculous .577 from the floor over the weekend. Eric McKnight, Tyler Lamb and Mike Caffey all tied for team-high honors with 14 points apiece. David Samuels checked in with 13 points for LBSU, which turned the ball over 15 costly times, resulting in 24 points for Syracuse.dddddddddddd The Orange also outscored Long Beach State 18-7 at the free-throw line. A -5.4 scoring margin is the main reason for Long Beach States sub-par season to date. Caffey has certainly done his part as the senior guard is shooting just under 50 percent from the floor (.492) and putting up 17.6 ppg. He is also tops on the team in assists (3.8 apg) and steals (26). Lamb is a distant second in the scoring column at 10.6 ppg, with little scoring depth behind him. Samuels is third at just 7.9 ppg, but does grab a team-best 5.3 rpg. The Cardinals were in the game to the very end against Kentucky, employing their own brand of stingy defense, but unfortunately, they were unable to solve the Wildcats defensive scheme, en route to an ugly .259 shooting performance. Terry Rozier led the team in defeat with 15 points. Chris Jones finished with 13 points, while Wayne Blackshear chipped in with 10. However, All-America candidate Montrezl Harrell was contained, as the star forward finished with just nine points and eight rebounds in the loss. On the season, the numbers are still impressive for Louisville at both ends of the floor, resulting in a +20.3 scoring margin. The team is averaging 75.0 ppg, while limiting foes to just 54.7 on just .349 shooting. Rozier and Harrell have been a potent one-two punch, averaging 16.6 and 16.0 ppg, respectively. One of the nations premier players, Harrell is also a strong rebounder, grabbing a team-high 9.8 rpg. Blackshear (13.4 ppg) adds frontcourt depth, while Jones (12.3 ppg) does the same in the backcourt.
