Tiger Woods hit 12 of 14 fairways in the first round of the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 on Thursday, but his irons weren't dialed in and he missed 9 of 18 greens en route to a 4-over 74.
Andy North details what parts of Tiger Woods' game need to be improved for him to make the cut at the U.S. Open. The 15-time major champion hit 12 of 14 fairways in the first round of the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 on Thursday. But Woods' irons weren't dialed in on a course that demands accuracy because of its complex greens and dramatic runoffs, and he missed 9 of 18 greens en route to a 4-over 74.
Woods gave his fans a promising start when he made a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 10, his first hole of the round, to move to 1 under. On the par-4 12th, he made a 10-footer to save par, followed by an 8½-footer on the 13th to remain 1 under. Woods was 5 over from No. 16 to No. 4. He bounced back to pick up a birdie on the par-5 fifth, barely missing a 30-footer for eagle.
