The third edition of official play in the AT&T National tournament teed off early Thursday at Congressional County Club in Bethesda, Md. Tournament host Tiger Woods did not get to play or even appear at last year's National due to injury but is back this year, looking to stake a claim on his own event. Woods will tee off at 1:02 p.m. EDT.
Defending champion Anthony Kim is looking to reestablish himself as well, not having won another PGA Tour event since last year's title. Kim teed off at 8 a.m. Other golfers at Congressional this week include U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover and longtime golf star Vijay Singh. Most name PGA golfers though have opted to skip this event.
This year will be the last chance for Washington, D.C. area golf fans to enjoy the AT&T National for awhile as it will be moved to metro Philadelphia while the Congressional blue course is prepared for the 2011 U.S. Open.
