GREENSBORO, N.C. – The good people of Greensboro waited nearly 20 years for Tiger Woods to play the Wyndham Championship. On Thursday, he didn’t disappoint, electrifying the crowd with a 6-under 64, which was his lowest score in more than two years, and just two strokes off the early lead shared by Erik Compton and William McGirt.
“Finally I got something out of my round,” said Woods.
Finally, indeed. Woods has plummeted to No. 286 in the Official World Golf Ranking. His best result this season is a tie for 17th at the Masters, and he missed the cut at the other three majors, including last week at the PGA Championship.
