Woods facing battle to make cut

TIGER WOODS endured a disappointing start to the Quail Hollow Championship yesterday with four bogeys and a double-bogey in a two-over-par opening round of 74.

That left the world number one nine shots behind early leader Bo van Pelt. Ireland’s Rory McIlroy shot a level par 72 alongside Padraig Harrington.

Van Pelt, who shot a 7 under par 65, is followed by Geoff Ogilvy, Billy Mayfair, and Paul Goydos, who all shot a four under par 68. Cameron Percy, Brian Stuard and Ricky Barnes all shot three under par 69s.
