Woods pledges to keep fighting

Two days after insisting he was not “buried and done”, Tiger Woods turned an embarrassing start into his worst Open score at St Andrews as a professional on Thursday.

The former world number one hit two short irons fat in the opening two holes - the first landing in the Swilcan Burn – and managed just one birdie in an opening 76, the same score as 65-year-old Tom Watson in his last Open appearance.
