Tiger Woods tees off on the second hole during the first round of the 2010 British Open Championship on the Old Course, St Andrews in Scotland. Tiger Woods parred his opening hole on a still morning at the 139th British Open, seeking to use his favorite course on the planet to end a season-opening winless streak that matches the longest of his career.
Attired in a bright fuschia shirt – but no rain jacket yet on a day expected to bring more bucketfuls of rain – Woods was given an understated British greeting upon his introduction at the Old Course.
One voice was heard shouting "One time!" as the conflict-ridden golfer ripped a long iron down the left side of the wide first fairway. A wedge brought Woods within 18 feet of the pin, and he took two swipes with his new putter to complete the par.
Woods is seeking his first victory of 2010, producing a wide mix of results since his April return from a self-imposed hiatus to undergo counseling amid a sex scandal. He has two fourth-place finishes in majors, but also a missed cut and nothing else higher than 19th.
Woods found himself paired for the first two rounds Justin Rose, perhaps the Open's hottest entrant with two PGA Tour wins in the past six weeks. Rose also parred No. 1, as did third member Camilo Villegas.
John Daly, who won the 1995 Open at St. Andrews, grabbed the early lead at 5-under through eight holes. One shot back were German pro Marcel Siem (through 12) and Australia's John Senden (through 11).
