True but as McIlroy proved last week one round is no guarantee of success. It was only -3. Come back IF he wins. As I said, long way to go although good to see him swing better than his last time out in the US
Tiger will win 2014 Open

I agree and even as a Tiger fan I also thought he may have a bad tournament just as most players would after what he has endured the past few months, just good to see him put a decent score together and who knows he may shoot +2/3/4 tomorrow just like a lot of other very good players today. One things for certain... He will never give up.

It would seem that he will only be 3 back from the sole leader so Woods in great position after round 1 and making the cut should be a definite
He sure is, afternoon starters are to get the worst of the conditions so a real test of character tomorrow afternoon.
It's already looking like it could be a great open.

Bizarre as it sounds, I think poor weather may help him. He's still erratic from the tee but he fights harder than any other.
Will be interesting to see if 'Friday Rory' plays tomorrow.
It would seem the morning starters are to recieve the worst of the weather tomorrow, rain and slightly higher winds predicted in the morning...

If he can get away without using driver tomorrow he will be around the pack - short game was very good today

Weather must be changing then as it was initially suggested afternoon starters would get the worst.
Whoever gets it it's going to be interesting
The weather forecast for the weekend is going to make it extremely interesting :thup:
Actually scrap that, it's changed again for the weekend :rofl: Rain with very low wind, lower than today so it could make the course easier with water on the greens.

Tiger was -5 for last 16 holes which is very good going for someone who has played little tournament golf , it was the best conditions mind but can he do it when the real chase is on , Rory is the man to beat , he wont keep shooting high 70`s again like he has done , a 70 be good for the 2nd round and he looks solid ..............................EYG

Thought he would miss the cut because he has played 2 competitive rounds in about 3 months, didn't realise this made me a 'Tiger Hater'
Really doesn't take a lot for this forum to descend into a playground row does it!

Hmm.... Another dodgy start. Early days but the putter doesn't seem as hot today. Let's see if he can pull it together.....

Dodgy to say the least and back at level, and in the heavy rough on the third. Not good for ole tiger

Very poor with the driver - needs to sort that out if he is to challenge
