TROON, Scotland — Tiger Woods tied a personal record in the British Open on Friday, one he could have done without but perhaps should come to expect.
“It wasn’t very good,” Woods said. “I made a double right out of the hopper when I needed to go the other way. Just was fighting it pretty much all day. I never really hit it close enough to make birdies and consequently made a lot of bogeys.”Woods said he won’t play again until December, possibly his unofficial Hero World Challenge with a 20-man field in the Bahamas.
“Physically I’ve gotten better, which is great. I just need to keep progressing like that and then eventually start playing more competitively and start getting into kind of the competitive flow again.”In his 10 rounds at the majors this year, his average score was 75.6. He shot over par in all but one round — an even-par 72 in the first round at the Masters — and has gone 15 consecutive rounds in the majors since he last broke par.
They honor their champions at the British Open, and Woods long has been treated like royalty. He hit his approach onto the 18th green and began the slow walk between two large grandstands. Warm applause soon gave way to a roaring ovation as fans young and old rose to their feet the closer he got to the green.
To make the cut, he would have needed a score he hasn’t produced since before his car crash. And those hopes ended quickly. Woods rarely looked like he was going to make anything except on the par-5 sixth hole, his best sequence of the day. Woods went for the right rough to a good lie in the left rough, and he smoked a 3-wood onto the green to 20 feet and poured it in the middle.
