Tiger Woods struggles at PGA Championship: 'Walking hurts and twisting hurts ... It's just golf' - CNN
As he continues his comeback from serious leg injuries sustained in a car accident last year, Woods struggled in the opening round of the PGA Championship carding a 74, nine strokes behind overnight leader Rory McIlroy."My leg is not feeling as good as I would like it to be," Woods told the media afterwards."We'll start the recovery process and get after it tomorrow.I feel like sometimes the sand -- I'm guessing, and I guessed wrong."
Woods seemed to arrive at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa with a relatively conservative strategy, choosing to iron off the tee while the other players in his star-studded group -- McIlroy and Jordan Speith -- hit with drivers.While McIlroy averaged 331 yards off the tee, Woods averaged just 293.4 yards -- the 136th shortest distance in a field of 156."The game is just different," Woods said.
