TIGER WOODS’ UP-AND-DOWN season took a turn for the worse in the opening round at The Players Championship.
Sitting at par after seven holes, Woods pulled out a 4-iron on No. 8, a 237-yard par-3. His tee shot was a complete miss-hit, landing about 40 yards short of the hole and then kicking into a creek.

One of the Golf Channel announcers said the shot was so bad that in nearly 30 years of covering and attending The Players Championship, he had never seen anybody hit a ball into that area of the creek on the 8th hole.
Hitting into the water on the 8th hole is rare. According to Justin Ray of the Golf Channel, Woods is just the 12th player to do it since 2003.
Needless to say, Woods was not happy with the shot. But rather than his usual anger at himself for a bad shot, he appeared to be completely dumbfounded by what had happened.
This shot tracker doesn’t look terrible if you don’t know the hole was a par-3.
After a drop, Woods was left with a terrible approach shot with an uneven stance and the ball above his feet.
Woods ultimately took a double-bogey on the hole. He fell to two strokes over par, seven shots behind the clubhouse leader at the time.
