GAINESVILLE, Va. – With three bogeys in the first four holes, it looked like Tiger Woods was heading toward another terrible day at the office Thursday at the Quicken Loans National.
But in a stunning turnaround, Woods made six birdies – four in a row at one point – and no bogeys, eventually signing for a 3-under 68 that left him five behind co-leaders Ryo Ishikawa and Retief Goosen.
The tournament host has been chopping it around for much of the season, and he looked like the 266th-ranked player in the world after four holes.
