Tiger Woods struggled in the opening round of the British Open at Royal Troon, finishing with an 8-over 79 and putting himself at risk of missing the cut for the third consecutive time at the tournament. The 15-time major champion expressed his disappointment, acknowledging that he needs to shoot in the mid-60s in the next round to have a chance of making the weekend.
Woods' performance marked his highest score to start a major since the 2015 U.S. Open, with an average score of 75.4 in majors this year. Despite a brief moment of brilliance with a 36-foot birdie putt at the third hole, Woods struggled with three 3-putts and missed opportunities with his irons throughout the round.
