Tiger returns to PGA Tour and tries to tame Torrey, two Canadians in top 3
SAN DIEGO — Tiger Woods had a rough return to the PGA Tour on Thursday but two Canadians found themselves in the top 3 after the first round.
Woods, playing in a PGA Tour event for the first in 17 months, fell apart on the back nine of the South course at Torrey Pines and wound up with a 4-over 76, leaving him in danger of missing the cut at the Farmers Insurance Open.
He was 11 shots behind Justin Rose, who shot a 65 on the shorter North Course.
Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., was one stroke back of Rose after a 6-under 66 for the best score on the South Course, which hosted the 2008 U.S. Open. Hadwin is coming off a second-place finish at the CareerBuilder Challenge that saw him shoot a 13-under 59 in the third round last week.
