Tiger Woods struggled on the way to a plus-four 74 in Thursday's opening round of the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst Course No. 2, and he opened up about some of the difficulties on the course.

"I wasn't as sharp as I needed to be," he said (40-second mark).

He also noted there is a "pick your poison" element of battling back from injuries and wanting to participate in major championships while avoiding the rust that comes with extended breaks (two-minute mark).

"I'm physically getting better as the year has gone on," Woods said.
