British Open, Day 1

Tiger Woods hit 2 irons all day (with the exception of driver on 14). Well, the plan worked pretty well, including an eagle on the par-5 18 that drew a patented fist pump from Tiger--and the most emotion of the day from him. Course management was clearly Tiger's focus. Save for a couple sprayed shots, Tiger's play seemed to be rounding into form. He's tied for second, at -5. Nick Faldo struggled for most of the day, shooting +5 (with a costly late double bogey). Can't believe my man Seve (+2) beat Faldo.
