World’s top-ranked Korean player Kevin Na shot an opening round 5-under 67 Thursday to tie for second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational held at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, Fla.

Scott and Stenson both recorded a solid 4-under 68, Day shot a 3-under 69 and McIlroy finished with a 2-under 70.

South Korea’s K.J. Choi also carded a 2-under 70.
