Tiger Woods is in danger of a third consecutive missed cut at a major after admitting he ‘didn’t do a whole lot right’ during an opening round to forget in The 152nd Open.
Woods arrived at Royal Troon having struggled again in the majors this season, finishing last of those who made the cut at The Masters before making early exits at both the PGA Championship and US Open.
The 15-time major champion said ahead of the final men’s major of the year that he would continue to “play as long as I can play and feel like I can still win”, although showed little signs of contending during a eight-over 79 on a breezy Thursday afternoon.
