It was a lack of commitment to what I was doing and feeling. “Should I do this or not? By then I’m pulling the trigger,” he said. Instincts gave way to thinking about too many elements as he began to swing. Woods attributed his mistakes to a lack of commitment, that coming from a lack of playing. He had three double bogeys and a bogey in a four-hole stretch around the turn and closed with one more bogey for an 81. Will Zalatoris had back surgery right after he withdrew from the Masters. Woods wasn’t the only player who struggled in his return. Then, he three-putted the par-3 17th from 45 feet. He found a fairway bunker off the tee on the tough 16th, came up short of the green and hit a weak pitch to 20 feet that led to bogey. He pitched that to 10 feet only to miss the bogey putt. He punched his third shot back to the fairway and then came up about 40 yards short of the green. Woods caught mostly soil and advanced it only a few feet. He contemplated his options before decided to try to punch it out toward the fairway or even a bunker, even though he could take the club back only a foot or so. He was 1 under for the round through 14 holes when he pulled his tee shot to the left at the base of a bush. I did not finish off the round like I needed to. He expected to be rusty, and it eventually it showed. Spieth made only five pars and had one stretch of 10 holes without one until the final hole.īut this day was all about Woods, as it usually is whenever he plays, and especially when he has been away for so long. British Open champion Brian Harman and Tony Finau led the way at 5-under-par 67, one shot ahead of Jordan Spieth, who was entertaining as ever.
