Tiger's playoff bid for Tour Championship defense off to bad start

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – It’s becoming a familiar routine for Tiger Woods in recent events, struggle on Day 1 and force yourself to perform some sort of magic during the second round just to make the cut.

On Thursday at The Northern Trust it was a 4-over 75 that left Woods tied for 102nd out of 104 players who were on the course at that moment. It was a similar performance to last month’s Open Championship, where he started his week with a 78, and the PGA Championship, when he opened with a 72. He missed the cut at both events.
