SAN DIEGO – Tiger Woods officially got his 2019 campaign off the ground Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open, and the results were somewhat promising. Here are some thoughts and observations after walking stride for stride with him for 18 holes on the South Course:
• It’s a 2-under 70 in the opening round for Woods, which leaves him eight shots behind leader Jon Rahm. But the scoring in this event is tilted toward the easier North Course, where Rahm and most of the leaders played Thursday. Woods tackled the more difficult South, which will host all play for the final 36 holes after the cut is made.
