SAN FRANCISCO -- Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Masters champion Bubba Watson will play in the same group for the opening two rounds of the U. Aldon Smith Womens Jersey .S. Open. It will be the first time Woods and Mickelson have been paired in the U.S. Open since the USGA grouped players off the world ranking at Torrey Pines in 2008.

Mickelson has finished runner-up a record five times in the U.S. Open. In a bizarre coincidence, the U.S. Open champion has played with Mickelson in the opening rounds -- Woods in 2008, McIlroy last year at Congressional. Patrick Willis Black Jersey .

Azarenka, a quarterfinalist on the famed red clay at Roland Garros last year, is trying for her second straight Grand Slam title. She won the Australian Open in January for her first career major championship. "Being No. 1 is a difficult job, because everybody want to catch you, everybody want to move you from the spot," Azarenka said. "Nothing is going to come easy just because youre No. 1.

The 27th-seeded Petrova has had her best Grand Slam results in Paris, reaching the semifinals in 2003 and 2005. Up-and-coming Croat Petra Martic disappointed the French faithful by taking out the ladies eighth seed, Marion Bartoli, in 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 fashion.
