LOS ANGELES – We will make this quick since our man had a quick turnaround following his first round at the Genesis Open:

  • Tiger finally got his week started following Thursday’s seven-hour weather delay but his putter was as cold as the weather. He bogeyed two of his first seven holes before rebounding with four consecutive birdies on his way to a 1-under 70.
  • “I hit it well and putted awful,” he said. That pretty much sums up a round that featured 17 of 18 greens hit in regulation and 34 putts. It was the most putts in an under-par round on the PGA Tour for Tiger since the 2007 U.
