出だしの11番で1メートルのパーパットを外した藤田。だが、13番パー5で2オンに成功しバーディを奪うと、14番では残り約40ヤードを直接放り込んでイーグル奪取。自ら流れを変えた。前半で3アンダーとした藤田は、後半の2番で6メートル、6番で2メートルを沈めてバーディ。最終9番もバーディとし初日を終えた。
先週の「関西オープンゴルフ選手権」には出場せず、リフレッシュして今大会に臨んでいる藤田。その間は「ミニキャンプみたいなことやったりしました」としっかり調整も行った。常に完璧を求める42歳は「相変わらず試行錯誤しながらですけど、そんな中こういうスコアでまわれたのは前向きになりやすい」と笑顔も見せる。
「地元Vの意気込み？ そういう時代は終わりました。意気込んでも結果が出たことなし」と笑って答えた福岡出身の藤田。「調子はあまり良くないので、あるがままでやるしかないです」虎視眈々と今季初優勝を狙う。

Tiger roars into contention with barnstorming 63
Tiger roars into contention with barnstorming 63
Tiger Woods of the U.S. tees off on the fourth hole during the inaugural Turkish Airlines Open in the …
By Tony Jimenez
BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - Tiger Woods showed precisely why he is the world's number one golfer on Friday, producing a swashbuckling tournament-best 63 to burst into title contention after the second round of the inaugural Turkish Airlines Open.
The 14-times major winner's buccaneering nine-under-par effort left him one stroke behind leading quartet, European money-list leader Henrik Stenson (68), Frenchman Victor Dubuisson (65), Justin Walters of South Africa (66) and Britain's Ian Poulter (66).
Tiger's tail seemed to have been tweaked by a late blunder on the final hole of his rain-delayed opening round earlier in the day.
The American dunked his second shot into the water at the 18th and marched off the green with a disappointing bogey six.
Woods only had enough time for a quick snack before he was back out on the first tee for the second round and he looked like a man on a mission as he charged to the turn in 30 strokes with five birdies.
The 37-year-old kept his foot firmly down on the gas on the back nine, four more birdies delighting the crowd on the Mediterranean coast of Antalya.
"It was a round that could have been really special," Woods told reporters after finishing on 11-under 133 on a sun-kissed day at the penultimate event of the European season. "I made some putts but I also probably missed four putts inside 10 feet.
"We are going to have to continue to go low here the way the course is set up and with how soft it's playing. It's so receptive that it lends itself to a lot of birdies.
"You can be so aggressive, the ball's not rolling out, it's not bouncing out, so no matter what iron you have to the green, you fire right at the flags."
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Woods's performance was even more remarkable because he was up at 3.30 in the morning to watch his college football alma mater Stanford play Oregon on television.
"It was one of those things when we looked like we were going to go up 29-7...and then a kick goes their way and next thing you know, they've got a chance to do it again," said the American.
"I'm like, 'I've got to go and warm up for this tournament...can you guys just kind of run the ball out and run the clock out?, and they finally did," he added, referring to Stanford's 26-20 victory.
Woods will play alongside Stenson for the third day running on Saturday but the Swede is worried his niggling wrist injury could give way at any moment.
"This is the third week I've played with it and it's getting worse," he said. "I'm just hanging in there day-by-day and hope it keeps together.
"It's not in a great state. I have inflammation there and I strained something else yesterday as well before I teed off."
Stenson, who once almost completely disrobed out on the course, took his shoes and socks off to wade in to a lake and splash his ball out 100 yards down the fairway at the long fourth.
"This time at least I didn't have to take the full kit off," he said. "It was sitting up there and I managed to get it back in play and save par so that was good.
"It's enough to strip down once, we know that much. I will try and avoid that again in the future."
Poulter, who was runner-up to American Dustin Johnson at the WGC-Champions Tournament in Shanghai last week, said he was looking forward to another exciting weekend.
"I have eliminated many silly mistakes," said Europe's Ryder Cup hero, "but I'm still making the birdies so that's definitely going to keep me in the hunt.
"I'm in the mix and that's always good fun. There are some great names at the top and it's certainly going to be a fun weekend."
On the evidence of Friday's display, however, there is little doubt over the man to beat.
"Tiger is playing another game, a different sport," said Dubuisson.

LPGA Tour to return to Michigan
LPGA Tour to return to Michigan
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The LPGA Tour is returning to Michigan for the first time in more than a decade.
LPGA Tour commissioner Michael Whan announced an addition to the 2014 schedule with the Meijer LPGA Classic. It will be played Aug. 7-10 at Blythefield Country Club in Grand Rapids.
The $1.5 million tournament will be a full field of 144 players over 72 holes.
The LPGA Tour hasn't been in Michigan since the Oldsmobile Classic was played in 2000 in East Lansing.
Meijer is a Michigan-based chain that started as a grocery store in the 1930s. The tournament is to coincide with the retailer's ''Simply Give'' program, which has generated $6.5 million for food pantries in the region.
First Turkish pro Sayin carries hopes of a nation
First Turkish pro Sayin carries hopes of a nation
By Tony Jimenez
BELEK, Turkey (Reuters) - When the head of the national federation walks past and smiles, 'I'm gonna kill you', he is clearly joking but in some ways it also underlines how much pressure Turkey's first professional golfer is facing.
Hamza Sayin only turned pro last month and is experiencing a baptism of fire at this week's $7 million Turkish Airlines Open.
The fresh-faced 27-year-old from Istanbul occupied 77th place in the 78-man field after two rounds, with only amateur compatriot Ali Altuntas faring worse.
"This is my first time on the European Tour and I'm just so happy to have my name associated with this tournament," Sayin told Reuters in an interview as he sat outside the grand clubhouse at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal course.
"I'm enjoying it and it's good experience for me. I've been playing for 15 years, I started with my friends when I was 12 and I've always wanted to play golf.
"There aren't many golf courses in Turkey and the national federation only started in 1996 so it's a new sport for us."
At that point, federation president Ahmet Agaoglu walked by, looked over and interrupted the interview to wave his fist and smile: "When you're finished with him I'm gonna kill him".
Agaoglu has big dreams for Sayin and wants the player to launch his professional career this week with a confidence-boosting performance.
"The president is a good guy," said the young golfer. "He and the federation always give me 100 percent support.
"He has known me for 15 years. He knows me well and he helps me all the time.
"After this tournament I will play maybe eight or 10 (second tier) Challenge Tour events for experience and then maybe I can try to get on the main circuit," said Sayin.
"I am feeling the pressure as the first Turkish professional, especially in my first tournament this week."
ELUSIVE BIRDIES
While there were birdies galore for world number one Tiger Woods and the rest of the players on the leaderboard, they proved elusive for Sayin as he struggled to a seven-over 79 for a 10-over total of 154.
The 27-year-old said Spain's Sergio Garcia was his inspiration as a child.
"When I started to play golf I looked at some magazines and saw Sergio," Sayin explained. "He was, and still is, a very talented and popular sportsman.
"He was the player I wanted to play like. He is my hero. He is an aggressive player but I'm not quite as aggressive as him."
Sayin spoke excitedly when he mentioned his meeting with Garcia in Barcelona two years ago.
"I met him at the Spanish amateur championship," he said. "I had a picture taken with him and talked to him for a while - it made me feel important."
Golf is a new and developing sport in Turkey. Until the early 1990s the country only had one course, and that was a nine-hole layout in Istanbul.
Now there are two in Istanbul and a distinctly Iberian feel to the Belek area in the city of Antalya which now houses 15 courses in close proximity all aimed at a growing tourist community.
"This is all so important for my country," said Sayin. "Golf is getting more and more popular here.
"When the federation started there were maybe 60 or 70 players, now there are around 5,000.
"When I started there were less than 20 junior players but in the last 10 years we have begun to get so many more."
Apart from one day achieving a regular spot on the European Tour, Sayin's big target is to represent Turkey when golf returns to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
"I want to play in the Olympics," he said. "If I have a good training programme and practice well I can get into the world's top 300 and get straight in.
"I will get my first ranking points this week and from there we will see how it goes."

Woods shoots 63 to trail Turkish Open leaders by 1
Woods shoots 63 to trail Turkish Open leaders by 1
BELEK, Turkey (AP) -- Tiger Woods shot a 9-under 63 Friday to trim a six-shot deficit to one after the second round of the Turkish Open.
Woods completed seven holes of his rain-delayed first round for a 70 on Friday morning. After an hour lunch break, the 14-time major winner didn't drop a shot and had nine birdies in the second round.
It left Woods in fifth place on 11 under, just a shot behind the leading foursome of Sweden's Henrik Stenson (68), England's Ian Poulter (66), Frenchman Victor Dubuisson (65) and South African Justin Walters (66).
''I played a little better certainly this afternoon and made some putts, so that was fine,'' Wood said. ''It was a round that could have been really special. But I am right there, and I am only one back.''
Woods, who last won on the European Tour at the co-sanctioned 2009 Australian Masters, said he missed four or five putts within 10 feet for birdie.
''It's a bunched leaderboard, so we are going to have to continue to go low over the weekend given the way the golf course is playing and how soft it is,'' he said. ''It is so receptive and slow and it lends itself to a lot of birdies.''
Woods revealed he had been awake since around 3:30 a.m. local time watching TV coverage of his alma mater Stanford beating Oregon 26-20. The game went on so long that Woods became worried about getting in some practice at Maxx Royal before his 8 a.m. restart.
''Unfortunately, I had to stay longer watching the game than I wanted to,'' he said. ''It was one of those games where it looked like we (Stanford) were going up 29-7. But the next thing you know, Oregon comes back at us.
''I'm thinking I have to go warm up for this tournament. So I'm saying, 'come on guys, can't you just run the clock out' and they finally did.''
Stenson, the European Tour money leader, had nine straight pars before picking up four birdies over his last nine.
Kevin Chappell takes early lead at Sea Island
Kevin Chappell takes early lead at Sea Island
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) -- The wind blew the fortunes of Kevin Chappell all over Sea Island until he settled atop the leaderboard Friday in the McGladrey Classic.
Chappell ran into a rough patch in the middle of his second round and managed a 2-under 68 in cold, blustery conditions to take a one-shot lead over Jason Kokrak among those who finished the second round.
It was a turnaround from Thursday, when the Seaside course was a pushover in still, soft conditions.
Chappell, who was at 7-under 133, felt he played better in his round of 68 than when he opened with a 65. It was tough to pick the right line of the tee, choose the right club into the greens and even measure the speed of the greens because of the wind.
He reached 8 under with an eagle on the par-5 15th in which he said a gust helped to blow his putt into the hole. He gave it back with a double bogey on the par-3 third hole because of a tee shot that found a hazard some 30 yards short of the green that's typically not even in play.
''You hit some not-so-perfect shots and get some bad breaks with the wind gusting and you get exposed really quickly,'' Chappell said. ''I think I was fortunate to come to that realization that there's some luck involved today and that maybe for a period of time I was one of the luckier guys out here. But that tough stretch in the middle of the round I wasn't so lucky, and the law of averages, it averaged out.''
Kokrak had the low round of the day with a 65, including a birdie on the par-4 fifth hole that wraps around a marsh. With the wind helping, the big-hitting Kokrak took a short cut toward the green and came up just short, setting up a chip-and-putt for birdie.
That was two shots worse than how he played the hole in a pro-am round. With a similar wind, he smashed his driver over the marsh, onto the green and into the hole for an albatross ace. Too bad it was only practice.
''I think it will play into my favor to play a little bit windy,'' Kokrak said. ''Maybe not quite as gusty and windy as it is today for the putting aspect, but 15 to 20 mph wind would be fine with me. I think it's an easier golf course for me to climb closer to the leaders with a little bit of wind as opposed to shooting 7-, 8-under par like the first round.''
George McNeill finished off a 62 on Friday morning to complete the fog-delayed first round. McNeill started his back nine with five straight bogeys for a 76 and was five shots out of the lead.
Matt Kuchar, at No. 8 in the world the highest-ranked player at Sea Island this week, had another 68 and was three shots behind. Kuchar would seem to have an advantage playing the Seaside course because he lives here, except that he rarely plays in conditions like this. Kuchar is more likely to be found on his couch, and that's where he was headed after finishing the round.
''There will be no practicing, no hitting balls, no putting,'' Kuchar said. ''It is straight back to the couch and enjoy watching guys have to play in these conditions.''
The biggest turnaround was Brian Harman, who had reason to feel this was going to be a miserable day. Harman started his round by driving into a hazard and having to get up-and-down from a bunker to save bogey. He blew a bunker shot over the 13th green and made double bogey. He couldn't reach the 14th green and made bogey. And with the wind still whipping, he shot 30 on the front nine to save his day. Harman had a 68 and was two shots behind.
He closed his day with a birdie-birdie finish, chipping in from 40 yards short of the green.
''It was coming off the rails pretty quick there for a little while,'' Harman said. ''But I knew if I settled in, it was going to be real tough for everybody today. And I knew I had at least a couple birdies. I certainly didn't expect to get all the way back to 2-under, and that chip-in on the last hole was pretty cool.''
DIVOTS: Tournament host Davis Love III, who shared the 54-hole lead a year ago at Sea Island, went 75-74 and missed the cut. ... Will MacKenzie was 7 under in his first 13 holes and 11 over on his next 13 holes. He went 66-79 to miss the cut.
