ST. LOUIS Here are some things I think I think after Tiger Woods collected an opening-round even-par 70 at Bellerive for the 100th PGA Championship, a round that really never looked like it had a chance to be even par: Well, that was interesting. And Im not entirely sure where to begin. The first two holes were absolutely horrendous, with Tiger starting bogey-double bogey. In fact, he had to make a 7-footer to save bogey on the first hole or hed have started with consecutive double bogeys. After the second hole, Tiger changed his shirt. Yup, it was hot and nasty, but after a double in the final major of the year, Tiger wanted no part of that shirt. Once he changed it, he played the final 16 holes in 3 under par. It worked. Hey, I just sweat a lot, he laughed after the round.

The round was salvaged on his ninth and 10th holes, the 18th and first holes, respectively. After a disappointing par on the par-5 17th hole, Tiger split the 18th fairway with a 3-wood and hoisted a 7-iron up in the air from 183 yards to 5 feet. On the next hole he hit a pitching-wedge approach inside 10 feet and converted that for birdie. I hung in there, he said. I turned it around. With only two par-5s on the par-70 layout Tiger pressed to make birdie on the eighth hole, his 17th of the day. He nuked driver off the tee and went straight for the pin with a 3-wood. It ended just short and in some thick rough just outside a greenside bunker. He chipped it to 10 feet and made that for birdie to finally reach even-par on the round. After eight holes: Woods 3 over, McIlroy 1 under, Thomas 3 under. After 18 holes: Woods even, McIlroy even, Thomas 1 under. Final stat line: Tiger hit 9/14 fairways, 11/18 greens and took 27 swats with the putter.
Back to the shirt-changing nugget. Tiger said that he struggles to maintain his weight during the summer because hes sweats so much. Wish I could say the same. But he also said that he usually changes shirts before the round, but didnt have a spot to do so on Thursday. So he opted for the port-o-john between the 11th and 12th holes. Not that you care, but it was swampy-nasty-hot out there. But it was awesome.
