Horror show for Tiger Woods at US Open as Henrik Stenson leads with Dustin Johnson

Tiger Woods threw his club, kicked the ground and even tried tying his shoes after a poor tee shot on the  eighth hole to see if he could shake himself out of his season-long funk.

But nothing seemed to be working as the 14-time major winner collapsed to a 10-over-par 80 in the first round of the US Open at Chambers Bay on Thursday.

Woods, making bogey after bogey, ended his round by topping a 3-wood from the fairway. It was his third round in the 80s this year, and he wasn’t even the worst in his own group. Rickie Fowler shot an 81. For both, it was their highest score in a US Open.

Woods is in serious danger of missing the cut on Friday unless he can come up with a low round.

“I fought, I fought hard,” Woods said. “And that was my number. I couldn’t grind out any harder than that. So that’s just the way I played and unfortunately it was a high number today.

“It’s one of those things, just got to work through it. I’m trying as hard as I can to do it, and for some reason, I just can’t get the consistency that I’d like to have out there.”

It was hard to blame that on Chambers Bay. Some two dozen players were headed for rounds under par.
