Former world number one Woods carded five birdies and five bogeys, ending the first day in California with a bogey after firing a surprise shank far to the right on the 18th fairway.<\/p>\n
“Oh, definitely, I shanked it,” said Woods. <\/p>\n
“My back was spasming the last couple holes and it was locking up,” he explained, adding he would receive treatment to be ready for the second round.<\/p>\n
“But that’s just part of the deal, and I look forward to the challenge.”<\/p>\n
Woods’ last win on the PGA Tour was at the 2019 Zozo Championship in Japan, which saw him equal Sam Snead’s record of 82 Tour victories.<\/p>\n
His schedule has been limited since injuring his leg in a car crash in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
