Watney Leads Golf's Players Event
Nick Watney shot an 8-under-par 64 to look at a one-shot lead after the first round of golf's Players championship, where Sergio garcia withdrew after nine holes as a result of knee and ankle injuries.
Watney's round, which included an eagle, nine birdies, a bogey along with a double bogey, was one shot off the tournament record for 18 holes by TaylorMade R11 Driver.
"I created a double along with a bogey, so there's room for improvement," Watney told reporters with the TPC at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. "But overall I felt quite definitely responsible. If only I possibly could have kept going, really."
Lucas Glover, last week's winner of the U.S. PGA Tour's Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, is second at 7-under, one shot ahead of 54-year-old Mark O'Meara and David Toms. PGA Championship winner Martin Kaymer of Germany and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell will be in a group of five players another stroke back. Defending champion Tim Clark shot 2-over 74, while Phil Mickelson is 1-under. "I'm disappointed in myself," Mickelson said in a televised interview. "I let plenty of shots slide, especially around the greens."
Woods, who also withdrew through the sport's richest event this past year with a bad neck, is coping with injuries sustained throughout the Masters Tournament last month. How Can You Enhance Your Golf Score? He was 6-over-par 42 through his opening nine holes when he chose to stop playing. It was Woods's first appearance considering that the Masters, where he tied for fourth.
"It's difficult to put much pressure into it right this moment," Woods said in the televised news conference. "It's been a bit of a struggle."
He skipped last week's event because of the injury and is unsure if he will be capable of play in the U.S. Open, golf's second major tournament of year, at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, beginning June 16.
"I do not know," Woods said. "Give us a couple of days to find out what are the doc says."
The next event Woods would normally play will be the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, scheduled for June 2-5. Woods, who has fallen to No. 8 within the Official World Golf Ranking, opened with a bogey and made a triple-bogey 7 on the par-4 fourth hole. He also dropped shots for the par-4 fifth and ninth holes and was tied for last place among players who had begun play when he walked off the course.
Woods, that has 14 major championships and held the absolutely no. 1 ranking for a record 281 weeks, hasn't won any tournament since November 2009. That's prior to a one-car accident left him with facial injuries and generated the disclosure of marital infidelity that resulted in his divorce and decrease of sponsorships. Prior to his withdrawal in the 2010 Players, the past time Woods brought out of your tournament with R11 Driver as a professional was at the 2006 Nissan Open in Los Angeles, when he had the flu. Being an amateur, he dropped out from the 1995 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf-club in Southampton, NYC, with a wrist injury. Woods, 35, has battled injuries since winning the 2008 U.S. Open at California's Torrey Pines Course with a broken left leg. He said he's also being hampered by the strained Achilles tendon.
The knee injury flared high on his opening tee shot, Woods said. The Achilles strain then did start to bother him, before he felt pain in the left calf.
