Garland, using the blue tees on a course that played 6,557 yards, had 12 birdies and an eagle in his bogeyless round, hitting every fairway and all 18 greens in regulation.

``I never missed a shot, and I only mis-clubbed once,'' said Garland, who birdied his first hole from two feet and got his eagle on a 1 1/2-foot putt after a 3-wood approach shot of 240 yards.
