Jordan Spieth admits he is still some way from finding his best form, despite making an encouraging start to the WGC-Cadillac Championship. Spieth was the pick of the performers as part of Thursdays marquee group alongside Rory McIlroy and Jason Day, posting an opening-round 69 to stay within three strokes of early pacesetter Scott Piercy.The world No 1 has struggled to find replicate last years major-winning form since cruising to victory at Januarys Hyundai Tournament of Championship, missing out on a top-20 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach and suffering an early exit at the Northern Trust Open. Speith briefly moved within two strokes of the lead with a final-hole birdie Although the 22-year-old fired five birdies during his round and carded a bogey-free back nine on the Blue Monster, Spieth feels he has more work to do to get his game completely back on track.I dont feel great about the way I am striking the ball, Spieth told Sky Sports. Ive been doing quite a bit of work.Im working really hard trying to develop patience through my swing and get into my right side. I have been transitioning a little quick and that leads to a shorter swing and more inconsistent ball striking. We (the marquee group) had fun and for a while there were feeding off each other, turning in two, two and three under. It was nice to try and get into a rhythm together because the last few weeks have been a little rough on all three of us.McIlroy found the water off the final tee on his way to a one-under 71, while Day fared the worst of the marquee group with a level-par 72. Day birdied two of his opening three holes It wasnt that bad, Day said. Shooting even par is not a bad score around here.It was a little rough day with me and my short game. Usually thats kind of the strength of my game, but I had no idea what the putts were doing out there on the greens.On top of it, wasnt chipping it close enough to hole those putts. Four bogeys is not what I wanted to have, especially in the first round.Watch the WGC-Cadillac Championship live throughout the week on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

Dickey takes the mound on Monday in Chicago, hell be pitching to the catcher with whom he is most familiar. Dickey has formed the battery with Josh Thole 66 times in his major league career. Nobody else comes close. Joe Mauers 20 games worked with Dickey is second most since he became a knuckleballer. "Im sure itll be like riding a bike for him," said Dickey of Thole reacclimatizing to the knuckleball. "Hes really good at it." "I suppose it shouldnt be too hard," said Thole. "Maybe a bullpen under my wing and should be fine going into the game." Thole was one of the less-heralded pieces of the trade which brought Dickey to Toronto. He was promptly signed to a two-year deal worth $2.5 million but had no assurances he would make the team out of spring training. He didnt. The role of back-up catcher went to the man he now replaces, Henry Blanco, who on Friday was designated for assignment. In a business where merit is preached but less often practiced, Thole earned his call up with strong offensive numbers at Triple-A and his handling of the Bisons pitching staff. In 41 games at Buffalo, Tholes hitting .322/.383/.510 with seven home runs and 31 RBI. He attributes his success at the plate to a routine implemented in spring training with the help of hitting coach Chad Mottola and Jon Nunnally, the hitting coach at Buffalo. "Just more so staying down through the ball instead of inside-outing balls like I have done in the past," said Thole. "I think its given me the opportunity to drive the ball a little bit more and still get on base and do what I feel like my game is." "This gives us a chance to get a little more offence," said manager John Gibbons. Gibbons may be looking to spell J.P. Arencibia, who has started every game but one in which Dickey hasnt pitched. Blanco was strictly Dickeys catcher. Thole will, for the most part, play the same role but could see additional time, perhaps in a scenaario where a day game follows a night game.dddddddddddd "We dont know how much hell play but Im sure hell play more than Henry did," said Gibbons. "But I dont know how its going to shake out yet." Dickey, more than anyone else, understands the business of the sport but lamented the loss of Blanco. "Henrys a friend and has been for a while, so to lose a friend, theres a human component to this that gets overlooked sometimes," said Dickey. "Its hard to lose a friend any time. From a performance standpoint, he obviously has done admirably and its for other people to tell you why he was sent out. We would be in a much worse situation if we didnt have a guy like Josh in the holster. In another organization where we didnt have Josh down there, you dont make the move, Im sure. But having Josh come up, who has a lot of experience with me, it should be a pretty seamless transition." LaROCHE RECALLED One day after optioning OF Anthony Gose back to Triple-A Buffalo, the Blue Jays recalled infielder Andy LaRoche. LaRoche, 29, was hitting .282/.358/.463 with the Bisons. In 403 career major league games with the Dodgers, Pirates and Athletics, LaRoche is a .226/.305/.337 hitter with 22 home runs and 113 RBI. LaRoche is the younger brother of Nationals first baseman Adam LaRoche. Hell provide infield depth off the bench, particularly at third base in the absence of Brett Lawrie. Lawrie, 23, is rehabbing a sprained left ankle at the Blue Jays complex in Dunedin, Florida. Hes still in a walking boot, making Lawries timeline for a return uncertain. McGOWAN RETURNS After Fridays game the Blue Jays announced oft-injured right-hander Dustin McGowan had been activated from the disabled list. Hell be available on Saturday. McGowan, 31, made eight appearances at Triple-A Buffalo. He had an ERA of 7.00 but the Blue Jays were encouraged by his 12 strikeouts in nine innings. To make room for McGowan, pitcher Todd Redmond was optioned to Buffalo. ' ' '
