Full leaderboard

World number three Jason Day holds the first-round lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. The Australian shot a six-under-par 66 to go clear of the field, one stoke ahead of compatriot Adam Scott who is bidding for a third successive win.

Justin Rose is in early contention at four under - helped by holing a 112-yard eagle at the third - as is fellow Englishman Paul Casey. But Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy struggled to a three-over par 75.
Scott is aiming to become only the third player in 10 years - after McIlroy and Tiger Woods - to win three straight PGA Tour events.
