Tiger Woods labored through a tough first round at the 2019 PGA Championship from Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, on Thursday.
On the heels of his historic Masters win, Woods shot a two-over 72 on Thursday and entered the clubhouse in a tie for 54th place, nine strokes behind leader Brooks Koepka.
The 43-year-old veteran's scorecard was colorful at the conclusion of his round, as he recorded three birdies, three bogeys, two double-bogeys and one eagle.
There were early warning sides that the first round might be a struggle for Tiger, as he started on the back nine and settled for a double-bogey on the par-four 10th after his opening tee shot found the rough.
