Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy is one stroke off the lead in the first round of the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.
The 29-year-old, who failed to make the cut at last week's US Open, carded a six-under-par 64.
Americans Jordan Spieth and Zach Johnson share the lead on seven under par at TPC River Highlands.
Four-time major winner McIlroy looked set to join them before a bogey on his final hole.
He carded four birdies in his opening six holes and three in a row on the back nine, only to drop his only stroke of the round on the 18th.
England's Paul Casey, who started his round on the 10th tee, shot a five-under 65, the only blemish in his round coming at the fourth.
