PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Tiger Woods opened The Players Championship with a 1-over 73, a score that put him in the middle of the pack and left the two-time champion frustrated.
“Probably the highest score I could have shot today,” Woods said. “I didn’t get much out of that round. I hit the ball better than I think the score indicates, and I got a couple good breaks and never took advantage of them.”
Woods’ round had no shortage of highs and lows. The positives included a chip-in birdie on No. 17 that brought the house down around the island green; the lows included the double bogey that followed on No.
