CARNOUSTIE, Scotland - Tiger Woods got off to a promising start at The Open before bogeying two of the final six holes in route to an opening round 71.
The even-par score is five strokes back of American Kevin Kisner.
Woods caused a bigger stir off the course when he arrived at Carnoustie wearing strips of tape on his neck to deal with soreness from a bad night's sleep earlier in the week.
He kept the tape on the entire round although it did not appear to affect his play.
