Major star Tiger has to settle for bit part

TIGER WOODS began his first round in a Major since the Masters yesterday as if the script had been prepared for him by an Oscar-winning screenwriter.

He ended it as if he had just failed an audition to be an extra in a B movie.

Having opened with three birdies in six holes, Woods splayed the remaining 12 holes in 10 over par as he recorded the highest opening round of his Major championship career at Atlanta Athletic Club, a seven-over-par 77.
