Rory McIlroy scrambled to a five-under-par 67 to outscore playing partners Luke Donald and Tiger Woods in round one of the Abu Dhabi Championship.
The US Open champion, starting on the 10th, carded four birdies in his first nine holes and picked up another shot after chipping in on the eighth.
"It's a good score but I don't feel I drove particularly well," said McIlroy.
Woods's bogey-free 70 included a couple of birdies, while Donald also had two birdies in his one-under-par 71.
Sweden's Robert Karlsson shares the early lead after sinking seven birdies.
