SAN DIEGO (AP) ? Brandt Snedeker says the records set by Tiger Woods should have an asterisk because they're not easily matched by normal players. Snedeker has four wins on the PGA Tour, including the Farmers Insurance Open last year. Snedeker still owns a share of the North Course record with a 61 his rookie season. He won the tournament last year by coming from seven shots behind on the final day and beating Kyle Stanley in a playoff. [...] he resumed his love affair on Thursday with a flawless round of 7-under 65 on the North Course for a share of the first-round lead with K.J. Choi. The eight players at 66 included Charles Howell, who tied for third in the Sony Open and lost in a playoff last week in the Humana Challenge, and Mike Weir of Canada, who took a big step toward showing his form is returning. Of the PGA Tour events on multiple courses, few of them have a greater contrast, although the score differential has been much greater than 1� strokes in recent years. Scott Stallings lost a five-shot lead in the Humana Challenge and bogeyed the par-5 closing hole to miss the playoff. A three-time winner at Torrey Pines, Mickelson's week began with comments about the amount of taxes he is paying in California, followed by two rounds of apologies for not keeping his opinions to himself.
