McCumber runs late, then beats Woods by a shot

SAN DIEGO – Tyler McCumber figured he’d be nervous Saturday at the Farmers Insurance Open when he teed off with Tiger Woods in his group for the first time in his career. He didn’t count on being late.

“I think starting the day it didn't help that I was about four minutes late to the tee. Never done that, but it's a good time to start, right?” laughed McCumber, who wasn’t actually late for his tee time.

The PGA Tour rookie recovered and said after a few holes that it started feeling like a normal round only with thousands of fans lining every fairway.
