Tiger Woods' golf game continues moving along much like an expensive five-speed sports car (red, of course) being driven by somebody still learning to use the clutch.
He. Just. Can't. Keep. It. Accelerating.
After a promising opening-round 68, Woods on Friday followed with 72 in the World Golf Championship-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, China. That means the former world No. 1 failed to open a tournament this entire season with back-to-back rounds in the 60s -- a first in his 15-year professional career.
"Well, today struggled a little bit," Woods said. "Didn't hit it very good and had a couple three putts there, and had five lip-outs. So score could have been worse, but also it could have been a lot better."
Now, he's five shots back of tournament leader Francesco Molinari's (65-70 -- 135) 9-under two-round total. Among others who Woods also trails are new world No. 1 Lee Westwood at 8 under, and Ernie Els, 7 under after Friday's 65 -- the day's low round.
Woods struggled through the round with his swing and on the greens, so frustrated at the end of his round that he kicked his driver after a poor shot on the 18th.
