PGA Championship: Tiger Woods blames putting after struggling to a 75

Former world number one Tiger Woods blamed his putting after struggling to an opening round of 75 in the US PGA Championship yesterday.

Woods, who missed consecutive cuts in major championships for the first time in his career in the US Open and Open Championship, faces a battle to avoid another early exit after carding five bogeys and two birdies at Whistling Straits.

“I hit it great today, but I made actually nothing,” the 14-time major winner said. “Probably one of the worst putting rounds I’ve had in a very long time. But I hit it good today, so that’s about it.
