The New Zealand golfer Michael Campbell is still struggling to find his form.
He's second last after the opening round of the Dubai Desert Classic.
Campbell, the 2005 US Open champion, fired a nine over par 81 to be at the rear of the field.
Fellow New Zealander Mark Brown wasn't much better with a 78, while Danny Lee is midfield after a 74.
Six golfers are tied for the lead at four under par, including Rory McIlroy and Stephen Dodd.
