Tiger Woods in contention after solid opening round at PGA Championship

Tiger Woods’ opening round at the PGA Championship wasn’t perfect.

The 82-time PGA Tour winner has played just a handful of times so far this season, after all.

He is, however, right in the mix after posting a 2-under 68 in the early wave on Thursday at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco — which marked his lowest opening round in a major championship since 2012.

“I felt that practice sessions have been very good,” Woods said. “They have been very intense ... I was able to [get off to a quick start]. I made a nice putt at 10 after Rory [McIlroy] gave me a nice little look there.
