Video: Tiger Woods duffs a tee shot in first round of 2013

Hey, at least he hit it past the red tees. That’s all anyone can ask from the world No. 3.

Tiger Woods started his 2013 playing season off with a bang... er... chunk at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Classic yesterday. See if you can spot the moment Tiger miss-hits this drive on his tenth hole. You have to watch close.

Pured it. Right on the screws.

Give the guy a break; I’m sure Tiger was just nervous. He’s probably never seen this type of pressure before, what with being the second-best player on Nike’s playing roster.

Best part of the video? Where Tiger stares at his “tee shot” and mumbles to himself as if he’s calculating what went wrong.
