Tiger Woods gets 71 in the first round
Tiger Woods ran into some trouble upon his return to stroke play in the CA Championship. Tiger Woods shot 71 this Thursday in the first round at the Doral CA Championships. This marks the first stroke play Tiger Woods has played in since his 2008 US Open victory over Rocco Mediate dwindling down to a playoff at last year. Despite the efforts, Tiger Woods wound up behind Jeev Milkha Singh, Prayed Marksaeng and Retief Goosen who all scored 65.
If Tiger Woods wins this year’s Doral CA Championship, it would be the fourth time he won the said event in five years.
What makes this a far fetched idea for the great Tiger Woods is that he still has little rust after suffering a PGA season ending injury last year. It was highly uncharacteristic of Tiger Woods to have a stat sheet that says he was 1 out of 11 in his putts that had atleast a 10 feet distance to the hole. However just to note the play Tiger Woods had, he scored three birdies while only getting two bogeys.
“I was just a touch off, either driving the ball just through the fairways or not hitting it close enough or lipping out,” Tiger Woods said “Just one of those days. It’s not like I was playing poorly or struggling all the way around or struggling on the greens, not having my speed. I had all that, I felt good all day. It’s just a matter of getting the ball in a little bit faster.”
Even if Tiger Woods was not yet back to his old dominant self in the CA Championship he still remains the biggest crowd gatherer and by the looks of it, it won’t settle down anytime soon.
For the Golf Betting Community, we still need more patience for the full recovery of Tiger Woods to yet put another winning wager on him this year. Give Tiger Woods another 2 months to shake off the rust and finally get back to his former self.
