Tiger Woods struggles as Patrick Reed, Patrick Cantlay lead in Bahamas

NASSAU, Bahamas -- Tiger Woods generally likes an early tee time, sometimes the earlier the better. But not when it means he is going off first because his position is near last.

Woods beat just one player on Thursday in the opening round of the Hero World Challenge, his annual tournament that funds his foundation, shooting a 1-over-par- 73 that was better that only Japan's Hideki Matsuyama. The two will tee off first for Friday's second round at 11:10 a.m.

"I didn't quite feel comfortable with my game today even though I drove it great,'' said Woods, who trails tournament leaders Patrick Reed and Patrick Cantlay by eight shots.
