The Open was full of hope. He hit his opening tee shot into the middle of the fairway at the first hole. He chunked his second shot into the burn near the green. Woods missed a 3-footer for a bogey after hitting a chip over the water. The bad got worse very quickly.
The score was double bogey.
For the day, the total was 2 over.
The tee shot found a nice lie in the center of the fairway. The flag was flown by Woods too far. After a shaky start with the putter at the first hole, Woods was able to navigate his way.
There was a score of par.
For the day, the total was 2 over.
Woods hit a terrible second shot into the third hole. He missed the green by a long way. It settled 24 yards from the hole after spinning back and forth. The pitch left 15 feet for par. He made that one but it wasn't easy.
The score wasBogey.
The total for the day was three over.
Woods is at the fourth. Considering how the first three holes went, it's good. It's not really. His shot stayed from the hole. He putt from 53 feet. He left it short. He didn't miss that. The start deteriorated even more.
The score wasBogey.
The total for the day was four over.
There was a break from the ugly first four holes. Woods was in front of the green and had a good chance of making a par. He hit the hole with his run. Woods had to play defense and make a two-putt par to get a shot back.
There was a score of par.
The total for the day was four over.
He muttered to himself after Woods made contact with his second shot. He has started The Open many times. The poor shot was followed by the poor lag putt. Woods finally made one. He rolled in a 13 footer. He put a second consecutive par on the scorecard.
There was a score of par.
The total for the day was four over.
After a good shot, Woods spins the club in his hands. The one-handed follow through is a bad shot. He had a one-handed follow through at the seventh. His tee shot was found on the other side of the fairway. He didn't have a chance, so he forced a chip out. He missed the green with a terrible iron shot. It was the second double of the day and only seven holes.
The score was double bogey.
The total for the day was six over.
Over this rough opening stretch, there has been another missed green for Woods. He was able to get a needed par thanks to an imaginative pitch.

Woods chuckled as he left the ninth green. He shot 41 on the front side at St. Andrew, but at least it was a bogey. He needs to do a lot of work on the back nine in order to have a chance of making the cut. He just wanted to smile at the only bright spot in a gloomy start to The Open.
The score was Birdie.
For the day, the total was 5 over.

One good swing can make a big difference. Maybe that happened at the ninth. A good approach resulted in a goal. At the 10th, he had a perfect hole. A well-shot ball. The approach was precise and controlled. The putt was dead center.
The score was Birdie.
The total for the day was four over.
