Albany (The Bahamas): “It could have been something really good. I got off to a nice solid start and made a few mistakes. I didn’t play the par 5s very well in the middle part of the round and consequently got it going the wrong way,” was how Tiger Woods summed up his first competitive day out on a golf course in almost 16 months.
One from bottom just ahead of Justin Rose, the opening day of the Hero World Challenge was a mixed bag for Woods. “By the time I hit the second, my tee shot on the second hole, I had already gotten into the flow of the round. That’s something that for me when I’ve taken layoffs and taken breaks, it’s quickly can I find the feel of the round. It’s good to be able to play in, what, 15, 16 months and get it on the second hole is nice.
“I just made some really, if you look at it, some really silly mistakes, mistakes I don’t normally make, but I haven’t played in a while. Unfortunately, I made those mistakes, I can clean that up. We’ve got three more days.”
