Tiger Woods is off to pretty much the worst start imaginable in the first round of the 2011 Players Championship, and finds himself at the bottom of the leaderboard. Woods started his round at TPC Sawgrass with a bogey on one. He momentarily got things back on track with a par on the second and third. But then things got ugly.
Players Championship 2011 Leaderboard: Tiger Woods Imploding Early
Woods required seven shots to conquer the par 4 fourth hole, scoring a triple-bogey, putting him at 4-over. He then followed that up with a bogey on the fifth. So, that’s 5-over par through five holes. So yeah, pretty much the worst start imaginable.
But there are golfers not playing horribly in the first round. Brian Davis is atop the leaderboard, with four birdies on his front 9. Right behind him are Jason Dufner, Lucas Glover and Nick Watney, all off to strong starts.
About half the field is yet to begin its first round. Phil Mickelson tees off at 1:18 p.m. ET.
