Tiger Woods’ game shows signs of rust at Wells Fargo Championship
Nobody, not even Tiger Woods, knew how his first competitive round in three weeks would go.
After walking off the 18th hole at Augusta National following a final round 2-over 74 that saw him finish T40, the worst finish of his Masters career, many wondered which version of Tiger Woods would show up at Quail Hollow.
Earlier in the week, Woods confirmed during his video Q&A that the swing issues he had at the Masters had been rectified. But following Thursday’s opening round 1-under 71 at the Wells Fargo Championship, that appeared to be far from the case.
The Tiger Woods we saw on Thursday looked rusty during his opening nine holes, hitting a number of wayward drives into the crowd and a couple of chips that had him rehearsing his swing over and over again.
But it wasn’t all bad news on the day. After going out in 1-over 37, Woods seemed to find something on the back nine, using a 2-iron off the tee on a number of holes in an effort to find the fairway. While the decision was certainly made on the fly, it worked.
Woods managed to roll in a couple of birdie putts to come home in 2-under 34, going bogey-free over his final nine holes. Even more impressive was the up-and-down he made on the 18th hole (his ball moved to within a couple feet of the creek on the left side of the hole), lofting his shot from the short side of the green to within four feet and converting the par putt.
Woods certainly kept him in contention — he’s six shots back of Webb Simpson, Stewart Cink and Ryan Moore — and based on the way things were going early on; hitting 12 greens, eight fairway and still managing post an under-par round has to be viewed as a positive.
Unlike at the Masters where the wheels came off and Woods couldn’t find a quick fix, he somehow managed to diagnosis the problem and turned a negative into a positive.
He’ll need to find his swing over the next couple of days if he wants to contend on Sunday, but for the moment, Woods managed to keep the damage to a minimum after a long layoff. That’s all he can ask for at the moment.

When you have the new Tiger 10 on wii, you have to make sure you get the motion plus adpetar for the wii remote. It is extremely sensitive the the motion you have in your wrists. The game is very realistic in that aspect. You have to bring the club back with a fluid motion. You can’t jerk it around or use one hand like in Tiger 09. You HAVE to keep your wrists locked and not rotate them, otherwise you will hook or slice the ball. Is the game perfect, no, but is the the closest thing to not actually being outside. It helps you practice the motion and stay consistant. Look at it this way, I am from Wisconsin. I can’t play golf from November to March. It is something that keeps my swing consistant. It is better than waiting 5 months to swing a golf club. It keeps your flexibility and swing motion. Plus it allows you to compete if you put it at a hard level.
