Tiger Wood stunned Golf Wold with brutal drama

Tiger Woods was disappointed with the outcome of his first round at the US Open on Thursday, as he failed to capitalize on ideal weather conditions despite playing at Winged Foot, a famously challenging course.

With the help of a trio of birdies around the turn, Woods bounced back from being two over par after five holes.

After successfully navigating the previous holes, a mistake on the 17th resulted in a bogey. Unfortunately, things went from bad to worse when attempting to pitch onto the green at the final hole – resulting in an unfortunate double bogey finish.

The Masters champion fell eight shots behind his playing partner and clubhouse leader Justin Thomas after scoring 73, while Ryder Cup team-mate Patrick Reed trailed just one shot behind him.

Seven early starters broke the par of 70, with Rory McIlroy carding a three-under-par 67.

On the other hand, Winged Foot’s inaugural round in 2006 saw only Colin Montgomerie recording a sub-par score of 69.

Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy emerged as the eventual winner with a score of five over par.

“The round today had some fluctuations,” Woods stated.

During the middle part of the round, I successfully sunk several putts.

“Despite landing in the fairway, most of my drives on the front nine ended up in unfavorable positions.”

I attempted to remain as patient as I could, but regrettably failed to conclude my round in the necessary manner.

I found the golf course to be set up fantastically.

In my opinion, the hole locations were very fair today.

The occasion presented us with a chance to score some birdies, and upon reviewing the majority of scores, it became evident that many individuals exploited this opportunity.

I see no reason why it won’t become increasingly challenging.

My opinion is that the golf course exists to be utilized.

“We were given numerous opportunities with the placement of hole locations.”

The golf community responds to the “harsh” drama surrounding Tiger Woods.

Jay Busbee, a writer for Yahoo Sports, characterized Woods’ day as ‘brutal’.

Busbee wrote that Woods had five birdies on the day, which would usually be a reason to rejoice. However, he also recorded six bogeys and one double-bogey detracting from his performance.

“Woods received a lesson on the harshness of rough terrain.”

Whenever he deviated a mere distance from the fairway, he was compelled to forcefully maneuver out of thick undergrowth sprouting up to his ankles.

At the end of his day, Woods concluded with a bogey-double bogey sequence that included an exceedingly poor chunk on the 18th green located at the base of a mountainside.

“If Woods can concentrate on the positives, he should be able to battle his way into the weekend despite not wanting to leave in that manner.”

Woods’ unpredictable day left fans and commentators in amazement.

It was an incredible sight to behold as Tiger Woods made his way through Winged Foot, finally sinking several putts on the day.

In the blink of an eye, he fell from being in contention to trailing Justin Thomas by 8 shots.

At the 12th, Tiger Woods missed his putt that would have put him at 2 under. Unfortunately he then went on to double bogey two consecutive holes and is currently sitting at 1 over par.

This is golf at its most ruthless and punishing, exemplified by the #USOpen.

Aussies off to a rough start at the US Open.

Australia’s two former World No.1 golfers, Adam Scott and Jason Day are facing a challenging task of catching up due to their difficult starts.

In New York, Scott finished his first round with a one-over-par 71, but ended strong by scoring two birdies. However, he currently trails behind some notable leaders who had an early start in the game by five shots.

Day fell one stroke behind after beginning with a 72 in the comparatively lenient scoring circumstances at the difficult and renowned Winged Foot course.

Day and Scott were two of the nine Australians who revisited the site where their compatriot Ogilvy secured a remarkable victory in 2006.

With a total of 72 holes and five-over par, Ogilvy emerged victorious. Day predicts that this year’s champion will also face difficulty breaking even for the championship.

Scott regretted not making the most of a rare break on Thursday.

Scott suffered five bogeys throughout his round following the tee-off at the 10th, yet he persevered with birdies on holes 15, three and eight.

In addition to a delightful approach shot, the last hole also features an effortless tap-in along with eight other holes.

“Finishing the round felt great. Lunch is definitely going to taste better,” Scott stated.

“I required it, as I had been delaying towards the conclusion.”

I believe that the conditions for the first round of a US Open were somewhat ideal out there.

“I struggled a bit with accuracy on the greens due to missing a few fairways,”

Being overly critical about your shots into the greens from that position is not advisable.

I wasn’t quite dialed in when I was in the fairway.

“I had a good putting day today. However, if I can get my iron shots on track, everything else will fall into place.”
