Caddie: Tiger Woods Struggled Early in 18-Hole Practice but Had 'Encouraging' Finish

Tiger Woods' 18-hole practice round Sunday at the Old Course at St. Andrews in anticipation of next week's Open Championship was a mixed bag.

Following the round, Woods' caddie Joe LaCava told ESPN's Mark Schlabach: "He was struggling early but came on as the day went on. That's encouraging."

Woods, who played the round with fellow PGA Tour star and friend Justin Thomas, declined to speak to reporters afterward, but he is scheduled to address the media Monday.

Per Schlabach, Woods had three birdies during his practice round, including one on No. 18 after driving the green and leaving an eagle putt just short.
