"As the year has gone on, I have gotten better. I just wish I could have played a little bit more, but I've been saving it for the majors," said Woods, who has kept a limited schedule after a 2021 car crash.Woods made a good start as he drained a long birdie putt on the par-four third to wild cheers from the crowd.
A single birdie on the back nine did little to help as Woods landed in the bushes to double bogey the sixth and bogeyed the 12th before finishing with two more bogeys.
