How Tiger Woods was consistently inconsistent to start the U.S. Open

PGA Tour, Golf

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Tiger Woods' first round at the U.S. Open was a microcosm of the state of his golf game since he returned after the three-month shutdown because of the coronavirus -- he had some rough moments, a few good moments and plenty of moments of inconsistency.

There were stretches of bogeys. A back-to-back-to-back birdie run. One messy double on the final hole of the day. A steady diet of missed fairways.

In the end, the scorecard added up to a 3-over 73.

A lot happened to get to that number. Here is how his first round at Winged Foot unfolded:
