Woods is playing for just the second time in the last 18 months; the fourth time if you count the two 36-hole PNC Championships he played alongside son, Charlie. And he’s 15 months removed from his horrific single-car accident north of Los Angeles that nearly took his life and brought amputation of his right leg into question. Pins, rods and needles were inserted to stabilize the leg, ankle and foot; many remain inside that lower portion of his body.
Woods also was annoyed with his play at Southern Hills, where he won his 13th major and first as a father in the 2007 PGA Championship. While he hit 10 of 14 fairways in regulation, he hit just seven of 18 greens. If Woods was given more time when he met reporters following his round, he likely would have conceded his short game let him down, too. He had 85 yards for his third shot into the par-5 13th but blew it over into a back bunker . On the par-4 first, he three-putted from just off the green from 60 feet. On the par-4 fourth his bunker shot didn’t hold the green. On the par-4 ninth, he undercut his first flop shot from behind the green and had to hit another mini-flop shot.
USA Today’s headline for this article is what is most uncomfortable. “Tiger Woods Limps to Disappointing Opening-Round 74.” Shame on the editors!
