Tiger Woods’ campaign to join the list of four-time champions at the U.S. Open saw some early troubles on the greens , but given the tough conditions seen on the opening round of the U.S. Open, he could be in considerably worse shape. Woods opened with eight straight pars before bogeying on No. 9 after he missed a 6-foot putt for par. At the halfway point of the round, he was two shots off clubhouse leaders Mike Weir, K.J. Choi, Ian Poulter and Rafael Cabrera-Bello. Woods remained 1-over after 11 holes, with two more pars at 10 and 11. Compared to his dominant finish at the 2000 U.S. Open, Woods is not faring poorly comparatively. Back then, he was only a stroke ahead of his current pace through nine holes. The only difference that he shot par on all of the first nine.
