We’re used to seeing Tiger Woods struggle at majors.
We’re used to seeing Tiger Woods produce brilliance at majors.
We’re not really all that accustomed to seeing both in the same round, but that’s what we got Thursday in the opening round of the U.S. Open. Woods finished the day at +3, better than it could have been — he carded a 76 the last time he opened a U.S. Open at Winged Foot — but considering how well Woods was putting, there was definitely a sense that he missed opportunities. And a late bogey-double bogey stumble will linger longer than any fond memories of the round.
