I was excited to get going, he told reporters afterward. The last couple of months have been really nice in terms of being able to concentrate on things I needed to work on in my game and health-wise. I feel like Im the most prepared for a season that Ive ever been, but it was nice to get back out there.Fleetwood, the defending champion, raced out to another lead while McIlroy and Johnson, who shot 72, just tried to keep pace.Tommy played very well and I was just trying to hang onto his coattails for most of the round, so really pleased bogey-free 69, I cant really complain, McIlroy said.This was his first competitive round in more than three months, since a tie for 63rd at the Dunhill Links. He is outside the top 10 in the world ranking for the first time since 2014.
