Tiger Woods continued to look well short of his best form at the JP McManus pro-am in Limerick, carding a seven-over 79 on the first day of the 36-hole event.

The world No. 1 completed the AT&T National at four over at the weekend - 14 shots off the winning total - having failed to break par in any of his four rounds.

And his disappointing run continued during his first appearance in Europe of the year - his final event before the British Open begins on July 15.

Justin Rose was the victor at the AT&T National - his second triumph in three starts - but he was another who struggled, faring one shot worse than Woods. Another recent winner, US Open champion Graeme McDowell, carded a three-over 75 on his return to the sport following a two-week break.

The Ulsterman is tied with Ian Poulter, while Luke Donald went two shots better. Jim Furyk is in a three-way tie for the lead at one under, alongside Peter Hanson, John Cook and Rory Sabbatini.

The players will return to complete their second 18 holes of the charity event on Tuesday.
