For 14 holes, the latest return of Tiger Woods was flowing along as well as anybody could reasonably expect. Woods was under par at the Hero World Challenge.

What followed – sloppy golf, sloppy decision-making – owed everything to a lack of sharpness that was inevitable for a player who has not competed since limping out of the Masters in April.
