SAN DIEGO Here are some things I think after Tiger Woods even-par 72 Thursday at the Farmers Insurance Open: Well, were off. On Day 1 there was some great, some bad, and a lot of solid. It added up to an even-par start, which, after a year away from the Tour, was encouraging. The nitty-gritty from his round: He hit eight fairways, 12 greens and took 31 putts. The last part was perhaps the biggest takeaway for me - he shot even par despite making no putts longer than 4 feet. He said hes looking forward to a round Friday on the North course, with greens that are purer.
Full-field scores from the Farmers Insurance OpenFarmers Insurance Open: Articles, photos and videos So far this week he doesnt look comfortable hitting a draw off the tee, like he did in the Bahamas. Thats OK. The top two players in the world, Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm, both primarily hit a cut off the tee. The best shot of the day, by far, was his 6-iron into the 16th tee. Didnt look all that impressive from the tee, and Tiger wasnt really licking his chops when it was in the air, but it damn near went in, leaving him just eight inches for a tap-in birdie. Macho.
"GET IN THE HOLE!" @TigerWoods nearly brings down the house. pic.twitter.com/kxyMwY2gcn— Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) January 25, 2018A lot of smart people didnt think Torrey was the ideal place for Tiger to make his comeback. Thick rough, cooler temperatures and coming off back surgery? Yikes. But so far, he has hacked out of the juicy stuff without much concern. Great sign. Right now, Tiger is tied for 84th. The projected cut is 1 under, but it likely will dip to even par after two rounds. If youre good at math, that means he needs to shoot under par Friday. The bad news? The North isnt the pushover it once was the average score was a shade under 72 on Thursday.
