Tiger double bogeys, Koepka birdies to start PGA drama

Tiger Woods of the United States plays his second shot on the fifth hole in his match against Aaron Wise of the United States during the first round of the World Golf Championships-Dell Match Play at Austin Country Club in Austin March 27, 2019. — AFP

Defending champion and playing partner Brooks Koepka opened with a 40-foot chip-in birdie while British Open champion Francesco Molinari salvaged bogey after losing his tee shot left into the tall Long Island weeds. With a victory, Koepka would become the first player to own back-to-back titles at two majors at the same time.

The 43-year-old American superstar’s electrifying triumph last month at Augusta National has made him the focus of attention on the same layout where he won the 2002 US Open. “In order to win this one, driving is going to be at the forefront,” Woods said. “You’ve got to hit it not only straight but you’ve got to hit it far.”
