AFTER THE FIRST ROUND TIGER IS STILL IN THE WOODS


After the first round the leaderboard at the Players Championship reads Crane, Mallinger, Johnson, Cejka and Byrd. It's only the first round, yes, but the PGA Tour really wants to have a major championship of its own, seeing how it doesn't run any of the true majors, and it can't convince anyone with Crane, Mallinger, Johnson, Cejka and Byrd.Woods went early in the day, shooting 1-under, 71, in what looked at the time like the definition of mediocre on a hard course. Was the round more frustrating or disappointing? For me it was very disappointing. I am a Tiger woods fan and to see him finish the first round 1-under, 71, dissappointing is an understatement.
Now back to golf, enough about me.Woods said. "I hit the ball well enough to -- this is probably the highest score I could have shot today, and I didn't get a whole lot out of my round today. That's the way it goes."But as the day went on, and other scores came in, Woods' day was reframed into something that was doing a slow swirl down the toilet bowl. Thirty-eighth place. Mickelson was in 79th, at 1-over, 73. Ben Crane, the leader, shot 65.
